    Where to see a blue whale - RFI

    Kay Optical problem

    Hi, Having had a similar problem with Kay Optical - albeit at a much lower value I have followed most of this thread. Forgive me if I have missed some comment but it appears that Mr Kay is, for whatever reason, completely unreliable, but in moments of lucidness (if that is a word) does the...

    How to find people to birdwatch with?

    If you don't mind venturing slightly further afield, Crossness nature reserve between Thamesmead and Belveder and Crayford marshes are worth a visit.

    Tour or not to tour

    Norfolk birding

    Hi David, Am planning a visit to the Brecks this weekend and am not that familiar with Lynford. I assume that when you refer to the pines, they could be anywhere, but whereabouts might I find the feeders you mentioned? Cheers Perry

    Fuencaliente La Palma Canary Islands

    HI Pratincol, I stayed at La Palma princess two years ago in april, which I think is on the same site as the one you are staying at. The hotel was fantastic but there's not much in the area birdwise - well I couldn't find much anyway. I went out first thing most mornings before the rest of the...

    Very Brief Stay in Hong Kong, Beginning of March

    I'm sure someone will be online to give better advice shortly, but when visiting family there I only manage to steal a few early morning hours away so have stuck to small local areas; Hong Kong Park, Kowlon Park and the Peak. If you are new to the region there will be plenty to keep you happy...
