    Great day at NWT Weeting

    Spotted Sandpiper

    Damn it yes that was the bird, glad I held off ticking it in my funny book. Surprised bird guides put it on if there was a doubt. Ah well, back to the drawing board. Thank god I was only 15 mins away, would have hated some birders to have travelled down any distance. Thanks for clarifying. Matt...

    Spotted Sandpiper

    No Jane it's a spotted sandpiper. A friend of mine and another birder got permission to enter the dock and got pictures and id conformation. See bird guides Suffolk for photos. I thank you.

    Spotted Sandpiper

    Great to have the Spotted Sandpiper confirmed yesterday. Managed to see it briefly at Landguard viewpoint but vanished soon after. A fantastic bird for Suffolk that's for sure.

    First trials with Sony RX100 II

    I used my Swarovski ATX 95 with DCB I I adapter. The camera was at its widest angle and the Swarovski was zoomed around halfway. Matt

    First trials with Sony RX100 II

    Just back from Bempton/Flamborough and quite pleased with the Sony RX for video scoping. These 2 Fulmars were filmed admittedly not doing much but when the Fulmar yawns you can actually see the warm breath from its beak opening. Best viewed in 720 HD. No video editing, just raw footage. Thanks...

    Quick ID needed.

    Can you just confirm these 2 are common Eider. Seen 2 days ago at Flamborough head. Sorry about the quality of the photos. Thanks, Matt

    Balance rail

    Am using a Swarovski ATX 95 with DCB mk 2 on a Manfrotto fluid head. I will soon be getting a Sony RX100 and would like to know if this setup will be tail heavy and require a balance rail. Thanks, Matt

    Suffolk Birding

    Had a good sea watch at Aldeburgh on Thursday. Saw my first Pilot whale. Definitely not the more common Minky as the dorsal was too far forward and not big enough. Was well chuffed. :t:

    Swarovski customer service - excellent!

    It's what Swarovski are famous for and influenced my decision to buy into their system. Well done Swarovski.
