    Slovakia in Autumn

    Hi There is an autumn lek for Capercaillie in October mainly for winter territories. I've seen and heard Hazel Grouse in October. Raptors might include a lingering Lesser Spotted Eagle perhaps. If you need a guide, let me know, and will forward details. Happy to send details for Hazel Grouse...

    Birding Companion for Norfolk

    Hi Might be worthwhile joining or contacting local bird clubs, https://www.nenbc.co.uk/ or http://www.wvbs.co.uk/. They both do day trips to Norfolk and further afield, and I'm sure car-sharing would be encouraged.

    Murchison Falls Uganda

    I'd recommend Birding in Paradise https://www.birdinginparadise.com/ I've met Johnnie a couple of times at the Birdfair, and in my honest opinion, you cannot go wrong with his company. As he is very popular, contacting him quickly would be advisable. If you need alternative references please DM.

    Ecuador Birding Lodge Recommendation

    Three that I stayed at: http://www.sachatamia.com/ http://www.cabanasanisidro.com/ http://bellavistacloudforest.com/ All were excellent, each lodge has it's own speciality birds. Good nights sleep at all three, food very good. Bellavista also has Olinguito (or did). Hope this helps

    Meostar S2 82mm APO c/w 30-60mm zoom

    Thanks and yes I did, so ultimately no problem. Strange that two different sites were hacked in exactly the same way!! Now looking at the merits of Leica 65 c/w zoom or Kowa 663 c/w zoom. Leica at £1699, Kowa at £899 plus case included. Any thoughts welcome.
