    Wintering Blackcaps

    Has anyone else got wintering Blackcaps in their garden? Over the last week I have had two male's that have been feeding on fat blocks in my garden in Ipswich, Suffolk. They are incredibly aggressive to all the other birds even the Great Tits that normally take over the fat feeders.

    DSLR & Leica APO77

    Hi, Is anyone using a DSLR with a Leica APO77mm telescope? If so, how are you attaching the camera to the scope and what sort of results are you getting? On a general theme does using a DSLR for digiscoping give you better results that digiscoping with a compact digital camera? Cheers, Bill

    I'm in a position to upgrade my old trusty telescope for a newer model and being a Leica man have had my heart set on a APO 77mm. However, I have learnt on the grapevine that a new 80 mm scope is imminent. Can anyone shed any light on this and how imminent is imminent?
