    Reed Warbler - Romania in March

    Following a recent trip to eastern romania I heard a Reed Warbler singing on 6th March. It stood out as it was the only call i could hear. Looking at the books this is obviously very early for the species to arrive on spring migration. Is this a very early migrant? Do eastern reed warblers...

    Zoom camera

    Evening all I have had my DSLR for a couple of years but with travelling about a bit i find that the camera, lenses etc is too big to cart round with me and if i am going about i sometimes find it too cumbersome. I am therefore thinking of downsizing to a smaller camera but with a good zoom as...

    Winter Holidays

    Just thought I would get some opinions of possible good winter holiday destinations. The holiday would need to have some bird interest for me but also enough of something else (some warmth/culture/food etc) to keep the wife sweet (a non birder). I am hoping to go to Tunisia in November but if...
