    Travel scopes

    Thanks for all your advice guys. Took the plunge and bought an MM3 60 with the SDL V2 eyepiece. Very happy with the purchase. Seems like a big step up from the MM2 in terms of both image quality and build.

    Travel scopes

    Travel scopes

    Thanks for these links Mono, but I cant find anyone on these threads who has upgraded from an MM2 to MM3. That's who I'm really looking for. No doubt the MM3 is a good scope, but would I be paying £700 for a slight or a significant improvement on the MM2 I already own?

    Birding in Brecon

    Hi Rich & Delia Thanks for the advice. It's very much appreciated. The Brecknock Birds website has more or less given me everything I need. Birding in new locations would be made so much easier if there was always a map of the local area like this one.

    Birding in Brecon

    I'm off to Brecon, Llanhamlach to be precise, for a few days next week. Any advice regarding birding in the local area? I know there's a section on Brecon in the Local Patch forum but no one's posted in there for about 5 years. Any advice much appreciated.
