    2014 UK Orchids

    Had a look at the bristol lizard orchid site this morning. Could find no more than the 2 spikes already mentioned. Think it was 2 spikes last year ? The flora is very rich and dense and the spikes are hard to spot . Can the surrounding flora be too dense Brian ? What is the habitat management...

    I looked at the Bristol lizard orchid site a week or 2 ago and saw no lizard orchid spikes, however I have only seen them in prime condition and might not pick them out at younger age. I saw no bare soil marks at the time. Today while at work near Bristol I looked at a meadow that had a good...

    Best telephoto lens for Nikon D7000? (in 1100$ budget)

    I agree Nikon 300 f4 afs with 1.4 tc - Size / weight does make a difference if you like to walk long distances carrying your camera. The 300 2.8 will be much heavier. You can walk with the 300 + 1.4 tc around your neck and respond quickly to in flight birds, it is also top notch quality. Your...
