    Whilst looking for butterflies and orchids in County Durham on Saturday, I came across a Bee Orchid with a small yellow attachment. I have not come across this before and wondered if anyone has any details. Two images attached. thank you

    Fly Agaric

    As it get colder and wetter I guess it's only a matter of time before the autumn fungi starts to appear. As a keen photographer, I wondered if anyone has any info on any good sites for Fly Agaric (and any other fungi species) which can be photographed in the midlands. Thanks in advance to any info.

    Drop In Filters

    Upgrade from 350 & 100-400

    Hi The Osprey's were as distant as I had thought they may be (the shots on a certain other website must have been taken digiscoping or someone with a very long lens) But it was good to see them. plenty of warblers, whitethroats, ducklings, signets, etc. A drive past Eyebrooke on the way home...

    Upgrade from 350 & 100-400

    Thanks to all that have replied. It looks like everyone has agreed that the 300 2.8 is a far better lens than the 400 4.0. The loss of distance is taken up by the 1.4 added to make then both f4. Thinking about it, I often use the 1-400 not at full zoom, but with the fixed length, handholding...
