    Exposure X6 (Switching from Lightroom)

    I have just upgraded to a decent PC (windows) and installed my old version of Lightroom (5.7). I am not keen on going for the subscription lifestyle (stop paying and we block you from your work) and came across the Exposure X6 software as an alternative. Has anyone made the switch or tested it...

    Wader and Passerine Nahsholim, Israel (May)

    A couple that I am not entirely sure about taken last weekend. For the first one, my initial impressions on seeing it, was a flycatcher where it was perched. It was at the back of the Nahsholim kibbutz, so next to residences. No behaviour other than perching, and when it flew off, it did not...

    San Francisco and the Bay Area Friday 18th November - Sunday 4th December

Just returned from 2.5 weeks birding in the East Bay area and this Hawk was briefly at Fort Mason Community Garden. Only have the one shot and with...

    Planned trip - when you do not have car in Tokyo

    I am out again in Tokyo for meetings and have a couple of days on the weekend before flying back. One of the major obstacles has always been that some of the best sites have been only accessed by car. I am planning one of the days as follows and I will mention how I get on when I get back...
