    Samsung Android Galaxy phone, old or new?

    Use of a third party camera app, eg Open Camera, can make it much easier to adjust settings and to dictate which camera you want to use. This prevents the phone from automatically switching between cameras and ruining your scope set up. Much of the increase in phone image quality comes from the...

    Where do I go from here?

    An alpha scope is not going to give you any more reach. It will give you marginally more clarity but certainly not "night and day". No matter what optics you have there will always be birds that are too far away.

    NEW PRODUCT? Swarovski Optik

    The link to the event is in the first post. It is at a nature reserve just out side Warsaw, 15-16 June. It seems to be a Swarovski demonstration event but the description of products on display lists... Special guest no.1 Special guest no.2 That is all!

    Does BTX work at all in bird watching?

    Since the BTX came out I have seen only one being used and that was for distant scanning from an observation tower.

    Pocket binoculars

    I have moved your post to the binocular forum. Have a search for pocket binoculars and you will find a lot of similar quandaries. "Pocket" means different things to different people. To me it means something you can comfortably put in the pockets of normal clothing. That would have to be a...

    Dipping my toes into videoing

    Video editing software is a mine field! Microsoft used to include a simple video editing program as part of Windows but they have discontinued it if favour of Clipchamp, which is a dogs breakfast of a program! I have yet to find a simple video editor, every one I try just gets more complicated...

    Missing two babies

    Any number of predators could have taken them, it only takes seconds. Once a predator has found a nest they will often return and clear it out. The young doves will have gone to feed the young of some other creature.

    Southern Lakes, Cumbria, UK - audio of birdsong 19th April 2024

    Composition

    For the bluebird I prefer the upper one. The background colours work better with the colours of the bird. Plus the bird isn't central, it would better if bird was over to the left or right. Imagine if the frame is divided into thirds left to right and top to bottom. The interest should be on...

It makes for a cleaner viewing experience but it can make it harder to cut and paste between pages, especially...

    Crowned Cranes - are they introduced in the UAE?

    Starting in about 2000 there was a craze in the UAE to have cranes as a status symbol. The cranes were illegally imported and released into gardens, golf courses and landscaped developments as decoration. There was a clampdown led by CITES around 2009 but the existing cranes have escaped their...

    Recording noc-mig direct to laptop

    If your laptop has a mic in, or a composite input for a mic/headset, then you should be fine. If not then you will need some sort of adapter. But a straight pre-amp will only be of use if your laptop has a line in, otherwise you will need a USB sound card.
