    Is it me, my eyes, or what?

    You mean I've been doing it wrong all this time! I have been doing the pot luck approach... I have driven past Loch Spelve a few times on the rickety road to Lochbuie where I'm staying. Maybe I'll have a proper look along there tomorrow. My fifth time to Mull, maybe somewhere different next...

    Thanks for the info, unfortunately I only have one day left... A bit of luck and patience are required, actually quite a bit of patience ;) That goes for driving on Mull as well... sorry for going off topic somewhat.

    Hi Lee I'm actually on Mull this week, so similar to your usual locations. I have had a few sightings of them in the sea just off shore but only a brief glimpse of one fully out of the water... Plenty of sea birds though! Steve

    I've just spent the last two hours or so scanning for Otters... not very successfully I might add. Perhaps I need better binoculars, or eyes ;)

    New binoculars required.

    The site (I think) that you have seen the Leica safari edition does have a 'no quibble return policy' so it might be worth a look...

    Leica Duovid

    Well I've resisted so far, mainly due to the weight and narrow fov...

    Leica Duovid

    Agreed, and with the weather we're having over here at the moment there's no excuse not to get out... Although it is rather hot! |8.|

    Leica Duovid

    Haha, I'm already over complicating things I think... should just enjoy what I already have. Still tempted though...

    Leica Duovid

    Thanks both for your replies It was birds of prey I was trying to watch the other day with 8x32s that made me think of the Duovids, just so happens I found a pair reduced today... Now I'm even more tempted... just need to sell another pair first really.

    Leica Duovid

    Thanks for your reply. They're about £1150 for a opened box pair so thought that seemed fairly cheap, relatively speaking anyway... Aren't they supposed to stay in focus when changing magnification? Or do you mean just trying to focus in 12x? Thanks

    Leica Duovid

    Hello Leica people Does anyone have any long term opinion of the 8-12x42 Duovid? I'm currently looking at a pair online for what seems a reasonable price and wondered if they're the best of both worlds or would end up not being used because of their limitations, fov and weight mainly. I'm...

    Springwatch 2018

    I'll be disappointed if it is only from the US, one of the main reasons I watch Springwatch etc is because they concentrate on the UK.

    Springwatch 2018

    I got the impression it was the whole series, although Chris said a one off... confused! It airs on the 15th October which is when Autumnwatch usually starts.

    Springwatch 2018

    Not everyone will be happy whoever the presenters are. Next series... Main presenters; Chris P and Lindsay Chapman Roving reporter; Lolo Williams Pre-recorded items; Gillian or others Although I have a feeling there might be bigger changes...

    Springwatch 2018

    I think this series is as good as it usually is, the only disappointing thing for me is there's no Unsprung this year. Oh and I think GB is improving (slightly) and certainly doesn't ruin the programme for me, she's only on screen for about five minutes.
