    Nice digiscoped shots considering how poor the light has been today.

    The dog walker I have seen recently comes in from the canal at Fisher's Mill. Three dogs, a Pointer, a Labrador and a Spaniel. He walks up to the North with none of them on a lead. I have seen quite a few dogs around the North, very few under control. I do bring my own dog over the bridge, but...

    I have made a few that worked well, but they all came apart where you join then eyepiece cup you are using and the phone case together. The position of the iPhone camera lens does not allow a great surface area to form your glue/bond join. In the UK the Novagrade is about £140. Clifton Cameras...

    Hi Rollingthunder. Thanks. I use a Swarovski ATS 65HD. I take a lot of shots with the phone hand held to the eyepiece. However, for video and quicker alignment, I use a. Novagrade adapter. They are universal for eyepiece and phone. I have only just got the iPhone 5, was using the 4S before...

    The RSPB must have some idea what is going on. It must be nearly about a year since we were told the bridge had been made and was in storage.

    I know I have asked this many times, but what is the situation with the promised bridge over the Tame joining Dosthill and Middleton reserves? As Nick Martin has explained the situation regarding the proposals for flood control, I hope he can elaborate on the current bridge situation. Regards...

    Water levels high this evening with no waders spotted during my visit. Water still coming into the reserve from the river. It was busy on the reserved this evening, with 19 cars in the car park at 9pm. Barn Owl seen hunting along river near the lookout hide. It was mobbed by BH Gulls and moved...

    I keep,asking this question, but when can we expect to see the bridge put into place joining the two sides of the reserve together? Many of us have been patiently waiting. We have been told it's in hand, this year, in the spring, for a while now. Are plans to situate the bridge any closer to...

    The Lookout - Middleton Paid a visit to Middleton today to check out the new hide. I was impressed with "The Lookout." As always I took loads of snaps with my phone. To see what the Lookout looks like, check my blog. http://moochersmoor.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/the-lookout.html Regards Moocher

    I think it is fair to charge a small fee to non members. However, I was under the impression this would take place once work on the reserve was completed. What is the current situation with the bridge?

    At 8.00pm yesterday evening, contractors were still putting fence posts in by North Pit. GWE still showing well on its favoured reedbed area. Mosquitos also working overtime.
