    Campervans in NZ

    Has anyone hired a camper van in NZ? We are planning a months holiday/birding in March 2015 and thought about hiring a camper. Some of the advertising for vans is very misleading, they say "from $40 a day" but when you get the final quote it is more like $130 a day for a basic van. At that rate...

    Photographing birds in flight

    I use a Nikon D5100. I have Nikon 18-200, 70-300 and Tamron 150-600. My shots of birds in flight are a complete disaster. On local advice I have tried centre spot focusing and other options but nothing seems to work. What focusing spots do the experts use?. Many of the flight shots on the forum...

    Nepal, generaL info

    In 2003 I spent a month in Nepal with a friend--he is not a birder. We spent a few days in Kathmandu, interesting if you can cope with the air pollution. Flew to Lukla and did the Everest trail. We did not book a trek with a travel company and from what we observed that was a good decision. Some...

    A Misty Blue Hill

    It's nice to lie back, close my eye's and just dream, Of the blue tinted mountains of home, The loch's and the glens and the clear running streams, And wonder just what made me roam, It's a fine winter day, the sun on my back, The air is so fresh and so still, I would shoulder my pack, head off...

    Digiscoping startup

    On a holiday in UK we noticed lots of people digiscoping. It does not seem to have caught on to the same extent here in Australia. Having read some of the posts it sounds rather complicated but I would like to have a shot at it. I have a Kowa TSN 821M with an angled 60x zoom eyepiece. What...
