    Lesvos Warbler song ID (audio attached)

    Heard lots of these near Vatera in Southern Lesvos - but they were very mobile. Hard to pin down, singing on the move. Attached song Also attached a picture of a Balkan green lizard, because was also cool to see! 🦎

    Deep mid-Winter in St Petersburg

    Many posts on this part of the board seem to have no luck whatsoever, but worth a try. I've done a bit of my own research also, so I can at least half contribute (but not fully!) - there really doesn't even seem to be much information about deep mid-Winter in either in NW Russia or even in...

    What does it take to get the biggest lists?

    Looking at a similar thread on this forum I was struck by world listers and the sheer effort that must go in to building the biggest (6000+) lists.

    First Scope advice needed - Celestron Ultima 80, Acuter or other

    Hi, I have been trying to do a little research on a first 'scope. At risk of clogging the thread feed here I thought I'd try one more post, just in case. I'll be using these on holidays in Turkey and Canary Islands next year. Also, does anyone have experience with either of these: Celestron...

    First scope - £350(ish) full set up

    Looking to take my interest to the next level somewhat by investing in a 'scope and a superzoom Camera, recently tried the Canon SX60 pretty set on it at the moment. Setting myself a combined budget of £700 leaves me about £350 for a scope with a tripod. Could be tempted to push my budget...
