    Bird guides

    Marsh tit? Willow Tit?

    Can anyone help with this? I know it is very difficult, we didn't hear any calls so can not id on that. I know what I think it is, but I don't want to influence opinion.

    Identifying a wader

    This picture was taken at Wells next the Sea, North Norfolk, England. Feb 14th 2012. Being relatively new to birdwatching waders are the bain of my life. I'm sure this is a very common little wader, but which one??? I think it would be about 15cm.

    Which camera???

    We ended up with a Canon 600D and a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM We didn't do too badly on price just over our buget at £1100. Very pleased with the results so far. Thanks for all your comments

    Which camera???

    Thanks for that info. We thought of a Canon 600D or Nikon 5100. I know the cameras you mentioned are better quality, but that means more complicated and the camera above seems like a better quality point and shoot. The superzooms do seem very tempting, but my instincts (not knowledge) make me...

    Complete novice needs advice on lenses

    We have narrowed the camera down to Canon 600D (pref.) or Nikon 5100, but don't even know where to start on the lenses. Its a massive learning curve so any advice is welcome, but keep it simple! We have been digiscoping for a while now with reasonable success, but would like to get better...

    Which camera???

    With a £1000 to spend any suggestions for a camera? We only take photos for our own records, but would like to take good quality snaps. Previously we have digiscoped with an element of success, but birds inflight are a challenge and the quality is lacking. Any help very welcome.

    I'd like help identifying this bird please.

    Thanks Thanks for that, it the only bird I thought it could be, but I wasn't at all confident. Is it a female or a juvenile?

    I'd like help identifying this bird please.

    We digiscoped this bird near a freshwater lagoon on scrub land about 800m from the beach on the coast 5 miles west of Cardiff. Photo taken 30/8/2010. Although relatively new to bird watching I feel ashamed to say I can't identify this bird, can anyone help?o:)
