    Golden Eagle Pair Almeria Spain 27th May 2022

    Just an update on my earlier post from May 2022. The pair were seen the following year in the same location/time of year but did not breed. This week I have revisited the same location and the pair have built a substantial nest and the female is spending most of the time on the nest. In 2022...

    Golden Eagle Pair Almeria Spain 27th May 2022

    Thanks for your reply, it sort of confirms what I thought with the extent of white on wings and tail. Nice to see anyway and hopefully they may return in the future to breed

    Golden Eagle Pair Almeria Spain 27th May 2022

    See attached photos I have visited the same area of Almeria several times a year for the last 16 years and other than an occasional young Golden Eagle passing through on dispersal I am not aware of a pair nesting in the area during that time. On the last day of my visit I saw this pair of what...

    Cowal Pennisula early July

    Thanks for the replies. I'm a regular visitor to further up the West Coast so have experienced the midges before. We were planning a trip out towards Inverary so will keep my eyes open.

    Cowal Pennisula early July

    I am staying for 3 days along Loch Long in July and would like to make the most of the area whilst there. We are staying with another couple so I cannot spend all day birding and nature watching. First light for a few hours will be best for me whilst the others are asleep. Any tips and local...

    Canon Lens repairs, any suggestions

    Logged on today thanks and registered all my gear apart from an EF 25-105 L f4 which I purchased 2nd hand but as new. It won't recognise the serial number so am guessing its a grey import. The more I look at the flimsy nature of the collar design the more puzzled I am why Canon had to change...

    Canon Lens repairs, any suggestions

    Thanks Dave, I'm just waiting for the Mrs to get home for a *ollocking and to ask her where the house insurance is so I can check we are covered. I'm not a CPS member and the website says there is a delay in services for non members due to Covid. I'll try and contact them and find out more...

    Canon Lens repairs, any suggestions

    Thanks Stuart, that sounds drastic if they can't just replace the collar. I've just compared it to the removable one on my 400mm 5.6 which is removable and so much more robust. You would lens upgrades would be better all round but apparently not. Thanks for the advice. I've just thought about...
