    Is it dangerous for an allergic person to have nut-bearing trees and shrubs in their yard?

    The question doesn't really need explaining. Can an allergic person safely have wild nut-bearing trees and shrubs in their yard? (Obviously not for consumption, but for wildlife-attracting value.) Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hey folks! Does anyone have any suggestions for the best quality cameras for videography that are under $100? Particularly with a powerful zoom feature? Where we live we frequently encounter wildlife, including deer, turkeys, bears, foxes, otters, porcupines, and even moose. However, we are...

    The Odd Couple

    I've been going up to Ardersier for a few years now and most mornings I'm up and away along the shore with a camera, see what there is to be seen. I've quite often seen a lone Hooded Crow on the shoreline picking around but, it's very wary and usually flies off when I get closer or, it's too...

    Young bird debate

    Hi all, I grabbed a few quick shots of a wee bird over the weekend and it was only when I got them on the 'pooter that I realised I wasn't sure what it is so, I posted to a couple of FB groups, which set off a bit of a debate. What do you think? What is it? After some research, I was thinking a...
