    I bought 2 new binoculars during this Black Friday, yesterday arrived both, none of them is usable, there is a collimation problem on both

    RSPB proposes cuts?

    Wondering whether they've perhaps been living beyond their means. 1.2m members & i'm assuming a very well paid CEO makes you wonder whether the funds have been put to the best possible use

    The 2017 report is another quality publication. Appreciate the time & effort that everyone puts into it. Make a £10 paypal donation every month, but there didn't seem to be an easy way to become an actual member, or did i miss something on the website.

    Mallorca 2014

    Isn't that typical, just as i come home, it starts to pick up ! Lots of quantity in the last week, but less quality than i've known in previous years, but its still the best place for seeing the traditional mediterranean species at close quarters in full plumage, whilst being surrounded by...
