    Manfrotto 401N Carry Strap

    Evening all. My Opticron strap for my Leica/Manfrotto head/Velbon Carbon legs combo is about to fail. I'm not too keen on the back pack way of carrying kit and wonder if anybody uses this strap ? I know its a bit expensive but looks ideal for me. Bit of a computer dullard so unable to post a...

    Norfolk birding

    Hi Brian, sorry i'm getting my rivers mixed up !! Its at the point where the Witham and the Welland meet not the Nene in the corner of the Wash about four miles from Boston.

    Norfolk birding

    Hi everyone, really enjoying the Skua chat, all good stuff. Just wanted to throw a couple of things into the mix r.e the Wash and overland route theory. Have a look at the Lincs Bird Club forum and the two sea watches from Cut End which is where the Welland and Nene open into the Wash. The two...

    Norfolk birding

    Evening, always fascinating to read the accounts of a sea watch and the direction/time of movements of birds. The birds that are heading west today, are they reorienteering to head out of the North sea to the North over Scotland? Or does anybody think some maybe looking for a way to cross over...

    Norfolk birding

    Evening Everyone, was just wondering whether the birds that are now starting to appear this afternoon and later in the day in Norfolk are just a result of how the birds on this day in time are migrating ? Birds wake up this a.m in Scandanavia (or wherever they are) and decide to push on as the...

    Afternoon, Having looked at the photos taken on 18th June, of the Spoonbills at Cley, on the Cleybirds website. A couple of them appear to be colour ringed. Has anybody submitted the combinations to see where they have come from ? Would be interesting to know from whence they came and help...

    Norfolk birding

    Afternoon John and all, John, i agree the trip from the 'hinterland' is a drag but more than worth it when you find things like a Richards Pipit - just need to sort the self belief out now :-) I see by your location, you've made the sensible decision and moved to Norfolk, you lucky so and so ...
