    Optics Fair at Dunkeld - advice on 10x42s

    Viking are visiting Loch of the Lowes at the weekend for an Optics Fair. Some of you may remember that one of the eyepieces fell off my current bins, which I've mended with some gaffer-type tape, but it's not ideal. I'm currently looking at the Kestrel or Peregrine 10x42's any excellent or...

    Bird Song, Scotland

    Bit of a shot in the dark this. A friend has just phoned me from beside the river in Blairgowrie. He's hearing a song from the trees, which he describes as a loud, whistling "tchew"..... "tchew"..... "tchew". Then a break before it starts again. I'm a bit stuck, any ideas, that I can explore.

    Dipping my toes into videoing

    Over the weekend I've been taking some short little videos and they're now sitting on my computer in the Video folder. I can't see any option to edit them on Paint.net (the programme I use for stills). Exploring the options in Media Player, there's an editing app called Clipchamp, which seemed...

    PhraseExpress playing up

    There was an update recently and when it had done there was no icon in the Task Bar (you know, the one to the right where the volume control is). Eventually I found it in the Hidden Icons. Previously I've been able to move things in and out of there onto or off the Task Bar, but none of the...

    Mindo Ecological Reserve

    I was all set to update our Opus article for this reserve, but their website doesn't appear to have been updated judging by the Trip Reports (last one 2019). Have they got a new one? I'll have to change/remove the link to their website as it's not working...

    Cloud Storage

    I get a message that my Cloud Storage (basic free) is full. I looked in to see what I could delete to free up enough space to avoid being constantly nagged. There's quite a few files I could remove from the Cloud as they're not that 'precious', but when I got started the message came up that...

    What waders... awful pic

    I took this at Ocean Beach, Western Australia in November 2019. Pretty sure the two wee ones on the right are Red-necked Stint and Red-capped Dotterel, but the two on the left, think one is a Ruddy Turnstone, but just can't work out the other. Any ideas? A very distant image, I've only cropped...

    Raptor encounter, North-eastern Perthshire

    Sorry, no photograph. This afternoon I was driving in the hills to the north of Blairgowrie, when suddenly a raptor flew from a branch to another at the side of the road. It was such a surprise, but I found myself muttering... that was huge! Then brushed it off thinking it was just a Buzzard...

    My bins need repair

    The eye cup on my binoculars became a bit loose a couple of months ago and wouldn't screw right down, just went round and round. Now it has become completely detached. I've tried pushing it on, but it won't go. Completely unusable now, sadly. Will they have to go away for repair - and where to?

    Phone screen gone dark

    Earlier this morning my phone was working fine, having recharged it last night. Without me doing anything to it, it's suddenly gone very dim, so I can hardly read the words on it. I've tried the side buttons but can't see what I'm doing, and both seem to only have the volume?? I've tried...
