    North Wales Birding

    I think I might have spoken to you on the cycle track, I was looking over the wet grassland for the Tern and we spoke about the Barnacles. Re: your post from 11th about Coed Cilgroeslwyd. It's become a kind of "patch" of mine recently, along with Eyarth rocks. I'll definitely be keeping an...

    Buzzard (?), Cornwall, UK. 18th May 2014

    Hi all, Whilst paying a visit to Lands End on Sunday 18th May I noticed a very low flying Raptor being mobbed by a Herring gull flying West to East along the cliff line. Initially I didn't pay much attention thinking it to be just a Buzzard, but as it got closer and after first seeing it...

    My first SEO experience and boy was it a good one!

    I have seen 3 at Parkgate at High Tide, distant, but excellent views. Not sure what it's like for the Raptor Watch, but I will be going to 1 this year.

    Why can't I take a sharp photo?

    Ilkka, thanks for the info. I have always had a 'fuzzy' Vignetting, but I digi-scope without the aid of a 'sleeve' or simliar to stop light from 'escaping'. I will see if I can conjure something up and give this a try. Wally

    Why can't I take a sharp photo?

    I understand that you may not want to place the camera really close to the eye-peice (stratching etc), but the closer you get the better. The more light you let in between the camera and the eye-peice the 'foggier' the pictures are. I am sure somebody with a bit more technical knowledge may be...

    Collins Bird Eguide & Home PC

    It doesn't help in this situation (as you've already purcahsed your software), but the RSPB electronic book can be used on PC and PDA. You get a license for each.
