    EOS R8 or 5D IV?

    Sigma 150-600 Contemporary or Sports

    I agree, those are some good questions. Would probably go for the Sports version then.

    EOS R8 or 5D IV?

    I need a new camera body, and I tend to Canon. I had a Canon 5D Mark III which I have now sold, so I need a new camera body. I don't have unlimited funds, so I am considering EOS R8 or 5D Mark IV, what would you recommend? And if not any of these, which one then? My budget is around USD 1,500-2,000.

    Sigma 150-600 Contemporary or Sports

    Rock pipit in summer plumage?

    Hi all I went to the Faroe Islands recently, and on the small island of Nolsoy, I came across this little brown bird. I have identified it as rock pipit, and I think it is in its summer plumage - am I all wrong?

    Never heard of a "worn" barn swallow. Why not a hill swallow?

    Swallow in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka

    Hi all I have just come back from a beautiful vacation in Sri Lanka where I spotted over 50 different bird species during 2 weeks - pretty impressive. However, one bird causes problems to identify. I have now looked everywhere, and my best guess is a hill swallow (hirundo domicola), also known...

    Two different birds from Uganda

    Great, thank you both! The group of birds in the second photo are as you suggest white winged black terns, but the bird in the first picture is a whiskered tern - just found this page: https://singaporebirdgroup.wordpress.com/2015/10/09/white-winged-or-whiskered-terns/

    Two different birds from Uganda

    Hi there, I am totally new on this site and in this forum, but I have been an amateur birder for some years now. Last year, I went to Uganda, and there are two species which have caused me some trouble to identify, so I really hope someone in here can help. First picture is taken on Lake Albert...
