I've been lurking about watching this site and picking its brains for about a year - I only belong to one forum and thats an astro one (with the same user id,if anyone recognises it!). Well,I'm hoping to spend the new year getting the list up to date and improving my bird id skills....bladdy warblers...so I'm here now. I've been into wildlife and birding for ages but since we moved to norfolk 3 years ago and discovered a myriad of different animals and particularly birds, my missus and I are hooked.
Because of the astro stuff I've got a pile of scopes; and with the photography too many lenses too. I have a Sony alpha200 with a sigma 170-500mm . Its not bad but distance needs more focal length so i'm experimenting with my celestron 80ed at 600mm f7.5 I'm dying to get some decent piccies....Oh and I currently use a brilliant kowa 823m with a couple of eyepieces and some digiscoping gear which is driving me barmy - hence the 80ed route. Nuff said Hello all John
