    Sport mode on Canon SX70HS

    Using the sport mode for wildlife in motion the results on playback are not displayed in sets for each ‘shot’ as with the 50HS but as individual images leading to an overwhelming number of images to view. Is there anything I can do that will show them as sets for initial sorting please?

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Thanks for replies, I shall probably go for another deep purple bush.

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    I have several purple buddleia bushes in the garden and was wondering if anyone has experience of the yellow buddleia (B. globosa) in attracting butterflies etc.

    Assuming there has been more sunshine inland than near the coast does anyone know if Swallowtails are still on the wing at Strumpshaw Fen please.

    What is an 'Irish thrush'?

    My thoughts too Richard, I'll find a few more photos of Hoodies to show her.

    What is an 'Irish thrush'?

    A non-birding friend recently visited the Malin Head area and described five birds present on the ground near farmland. About crow sized, black head and tail with a grey back. I suggested Hooded Crow but she'd looked in a book and said no. A local had told her "we call those Irish Thrushes"...

    Male Brimstone through my Briston garden this morning plus frog and Backswimmer in the pond. Spring at last?!

    Loch Lomond - A Year in the Wild - CH5 Tues 1/4 10/11/2015 20.00-21.00pm

    Enjoyed tonight's programme despite occasional naff commentary. Superb footage of Black Grouse lek but why oh why was the evocative bubbling sound drowned out by loud music? Grrrrrr....

    Cetacean recording I'm sure the Norfolk cetaceans recorder would be interested in your sighting, the office number is 01263 576995 or visit the website wwww.norfolk cetaceans.wordpress.com and you can record the sighting there.

    Autumwatch 2014

    While I have enjoyed Autumnwatch, as a keen birder I wonder why there has been no mention of the fabulous autumn migration. On the east coast in mid September there was a wonderful fall of birds and recently the remains of hurricane Gonzales produced some real rarities up in the Northern Isles...

    Norfolk birding

    Perfect directions!. I arrived at the bridge this morning at 10.30 and after about 10 mins the Osprey flew into the dead tree and was still there when I left 20 mins later. Many thanks Johnny

    Regarding the Osprey that seems to be around the Lyng area, does anyone know where Kingfisher Lakes are and is there public access?

    Canon SX50 Specs

    Many thanks etudiant, will get it charged up. Could have done with a spare on Saturday when trying to photograph Red Kites at a feeding session! Still a lot to learn about flight photography!

    Canon SX50 Specs

    I bought a SX50 a few days ago, have taken several shots and am pleased with the results. Looking forward to studying this thread and the manual to explore the full potential of this super camera. I'm not very technical so I hope this isn't a stupid question. I purchased a Hahnel HL-10L...

    Norfolk birding

    Not wishing to boast, but it all seemed rather simple to me. Find Bintree on the OS map, look south and there's Billingford and they are connected by said minor road. I saw about 6 Waxwings just after 12, they were in the hedge, about midway, just north of a double bend. Happy New Year, I'm...

    Just heard the sad news that Robin Able has died in his sleep. Stunned and saddened. Rest in peace Robin, you were one of the nice guys.

    Secrets of our Living Planet

    Just catching up with this series and enjoying it very much. At least it has a presenter who knows what he is talking about! More please BBC.

    Super Smart Animals 8/2/2011 Part 1/2 BBC1 20.00pm-21.00pm

    Enjoyed Part 1, looking forward to Part 2 tonight. I've always thought animals have more intelligence than we give them credit for. The chimp that could remember the number sequence was awesome, I suspect I'd have got it wrong even if I'd had a few seconds to look at them, not a fraction of a...

    Norfolk birding

    At least 20 Goosanders this morning on the boating lake (Abrahams Bosom) near the car park showing very well. Should have taken a decent camera! Appreciate your problems RBA but 20 on a relatively small water was a worthwhile sight. Mind you a Killer Whale would have been better!!

    Norfolk birding

    Surprised to hear Goosanders not considered newsworthy. Surely this was what the local Norfolk/Suffolk channel was for. Smew are considered newsworthy so why not add plus 20 Goosanders (a noteworthy number) in brackets after, this doesn't require an extra message. I'm sure quite a few birders...

    Frozen Planet - David Attenbrough

    I can't believe what I'm hearing regards the polar bear sequence. If it had been made digitally (like dinosaurs running about) then it would have been faked. I felt priviliged to watch the birth and didn't think how had it been filmed as we were on to the next stunning sequence. If I had I would...

    Autumnwatch 2011 on BBC2 20.30pm-22.00pm 7/10/2011

    Re last night's Unsprung, they say don't work with animals and children so goodbye Itchy, Scratchy and Martin!! Mind you at one stage I thought it was going to be goodbye Chris.

    Eyebrowed Thrush in Norolk

    Yes, I expect it's different for coastal gardens. I'm about 10 miles inland, not half as exciting except I've just had a peahen + two young in the garden. Oops shouldn't have said anything, don't want a load of twitchers descending...........!!
