    Whinchats on Norfolk coast.

    Interestingly I spent this weekend in Norfolk….saw 4 red kites at Glandford, also a couple at Snettisham…I have to say it was noticeable how many I’d do seemingly see compared to previous years.

    Mediterranean Gull? Frampton Marsh

    the only point I sort of disagree with there is…..some bins are better than no bins, so £30 is infinitely better than a£0 spend. I have a scope, but I used to bird without it, but for me it’s better to take it with me when I specifically go birding a cos it’s big and cumbersome to carry...

    I’d like to crop and post an audio file from Merlin off my iPhone.

    Here is a more recent recording which gave the same indications.... taken in South Derbyshire.....In roadside hedge next to grass field nothing visible. Merlin has identified this as a redstart.... which i think is just the app. but there is a little 'tink' after a couple of the tseep noises...

    Eyepieces for MM3 GA (non ED)

    A couple near me were selling an ed version of this scope....one of the things that put me off. - and there wasnt much - was the eyepieces were so small. The eyepiece/rubber end cap on my Celestron is a good 2" across even though the actual glass is probably only 3/4". Do Opticron do something...
