    Hotels near Albufera, Mallorca

    Hello there, I intend coming to Mallorca with my wife and (by that point) 10 month old baby. I would like to stay very close (walking distance) from Albufera. As my wife is very much a non-birder, and I don't intend hiring a car, I would like to stay as close as possible to the reserve to...

    25 year old nikon scope

    Hello all, My father-in-law has recently reignited his passion for birding. Back in the day he had (and still has) a nikon scope. It's in good nick and optically ok, so I don't think there's a big need for him to shell out 2k+ for a new one. The one snag is that the only eyepiece he has is 20x...

    A nice couple of hours at Wykeham Forest today (11.15 to 1.15). Honey Buzzard showing as soon as we got there, a nice comparison had with a Common Buzzard which was in the air at the same time. A pair of Crossbills were perched up, then 3 more flew over. A Goshawk then followed. Nearby there...

    help needed with tripod buying

    Hello, I am at the stage where I need to buy a new tripod. These days I find that I am using my scope far less than I used to, and with a baby on the way I can't really afford to spend the sort of money I know that will be needed to a buy a very good quality tripod. Therefore I would if possible...

    I am going to Mexico for my honeymoon in October, staying at the Iberostar Quatzal in Playa del Carmen. Of course I will be doing some birding whilst I'm there! If anyone is interested in going birding for a couple days, probably hiring a local guide, and sharing the expenses, then I'd love to...
