    Nestbox still in use?

    I have a nestbox in my garden which was being used by a wee wren in the summer. After the chicks had successfully fledged and the wren had long disappeared I checked the box and removed an abondoned egg. Yesterday I went to take it down to clean it, and there are two more tiny eggs in it...

    Upgrade binoculars or buy a scope?

    I have a pair of Viking Harrier ED 8x42 binoculars. Perfectly happy with them for the stage I’m at, but no doubt like many others would like to upgrade one day. I’ve just been on a 3 day birdwatching trip, and the leader and another client both had scopes. With some of the trip being coastal...

    From no binoculars to two sets - keep them both?

    About a week ago I bought myself a pair of Nikon Monarch M5 8x42 with a view to taking birdwatching a bit more seriously. They arrived on Friday and apart from a quick try from the house have not been used yet. Today I was given a pair of RSPB Avocet 10x25 by my wife for Christmas. I wasn’t...

    Hi from Scotland

    Hi, I’ve decided, after living in the Highlands for 15 years, that I should try and slow down and appreciate what’s around me a bit more - and that it’ll be good medicine away from a stressful and demanding job. After a good few hours reading advice on here, I’ve ordered myself a pair of Nikon...
