    Wildlife ponds

    I'd like to build one at our new home in Scotland. I've put a "no dig" Blagdon pond in temporarily to get my fix. I'm nervous of location in terms of sunlight (and algae). I'm hoping to get started in the coming weeks. Once I've decided on location!

    Greetings from South Africa

    Heading over there for July for the first time. Looking forward to the wildlife (especially birds).

    Airline carry-on bag for 500mm F4 (and other bits)

    I went for Samsonite Ecodiver with a normal camera bag insert and some clothes etc. Then packed my backpack sans insert into my suitcase filled with clothes and toiletries.

    Trail cam recommendations

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgDcNF4OeWM Mike Lane reviewed this one. It's spendy though. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09Y8V268F I have this one and it's fine. Ok. I'd like a better one.

    Are extended warranties on cameras still available ?

    I've never known warranty to cover damage. That's what insurance is for.

    Aye. I have another 364. It's spot on. No idea why I ordered a second one. Thanks!

    I really don't need a 10th tripod. Ordered. Thank you.

    Smallrig tripod/monopod Amazon £58.25

    It's not bad. I wanted something I can chuck outside in the rain. I'd have bought a second for a microphone, but don't get the discount twice. Shame.

    Outdoor lighting... Badger, pine marten etc

    Looking for some permanent (battery and solar or USB) or motion triggered lighting for night time wildlife photography and videography. Shooting with Sony a1 for now. Maybe a7iv or a7rv as backup. Would rather not have flicker. Would rather not be terribly invasive or intrusive to animal...

    Static caravan / lodge purchase ?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42909256 makes me think of this article relating to timeshare.

    What backing up equipment do you use when travelling

    https://www.cined.com/clouzen-tainer-portable-all-in-one-backup-storage-introduced/ Just saw this article. Not cheap. But may be an option.

    Tripod, Equipment and "Shills"

    I get it... Still, as they're not really reviewed (other than YouTube people being gifted them), it's hard to judge which to go for. I could go to Wex or somewhere, but they'll have a limited range and mostly Manfrotto in line with corporate agreements.
