    Conquest vs FL

    I had a chance to compare both models (several mag variations) at Slimbridge several weeks ago.. It seemed to me that the Conquests were every bit as good as the FL's and indeed the Swarovski EL's. That obvious colour definition and sharpness you get when looking through ED glass (in...

    Where do I report a Lost/Found Racing Pigeon

    I do, but I thought you had to click the safe and contained option to enter this.. Anyway, Im waffling now.. thanks for the research, I hope mr Pigeon has gone tomorrow and gets home safe.

    Where do I report a Lost/Found Racing Pigeon

    mikfoz, what newspaper do you read? (just for fun, I like to guess when I converse with new people online) 3:-) BTW I haven’t contained this pigeon so don't have the ringing options, not that strange really.

    Mallard and barbed wire

    Barbed wire is used by Landowners and Farmers alike to discourage those who would trespass. Indeed nature reserves have to resort to its us to protect nesting sites. The ignorance of the general public to rights of way expeeds (is this a word?) the use of this wire. Personally if you could do...

    Where do I report a Lost/Found Racing Pigeon

    Ah yes, sir sarcastalot... ;) I have also done this... there is no mention of how to report the leg ring number I have written down, just some fluff about is it resting and does it like food... At least you made the effort to search for me, I thank you B (:

    Where do I report a Lost/Found Racing Pigeon

    Alive and in good health but not in a hurry to zoom off home, I found it outside my boss's office crapping on his doormat. :t: Does anyone know how or if I should report its location. I have its ring number. I'm sure someone is looking at the skies waiting for their best friend to come home. ;)...

    Fantastic Dunnock Behaviour (Adapting)

    The scene: Busy Urban Car park Usual low/wide hedges separating car park plots. The behaviour: A pair of Dunnock (Hedge Sparrow) have a territory in one of these bands of hedging. They have no need to forage for food as it drives right up to them. They are jumping from the curb onto the air...

    Is Frampton better than Slimbridge?

    ho ho ho... 8-P

    Is Frampton better than Slimbridge?

    From a purley looking at birds in an 'au naturel' environment perspective. Not as a center for Ornithological and Conservation excellence (As Slimbridge is IMHO). It's next door and does not cost £8?

    The truth about magpies?

    Hmm fascinating discussion... Well done for not getting too hot under the collar (forgive the pun) as some threads do. I would like to throw squirrels into this equation... Grey Squirrels were introduced by man to the British Isles and happily chomp on eggs/chicks etc.. they also have an impact...
