    Where do you take your bird photos?

    Going to upset a lot now..........lol From what I see on here a lot are at feeding sites or from fixed hides.......I have put one on today from a fixed hide. The new initiative from the people who run this site is to give info about the how why and where we took the shots...but so many are...

    Pets tonight!

    I suggest all fireworks be set off on the doorstep of the person who allows fireworks to be set off at an un-godly hour......I have aviaries full of birds and years ago I had the most nervous dog possible...she could hear a firework from 20 miles away and then panic would set in. I contacted...

    photobucket

    Hi....as Photobucket is the only way I upload pics to the forums I am finding it a right pain at the moment. It keeps coming up in a new format which I cannot understand.....or find a way to link to here......and offers you the option to revert to the original format. I do this and answer the...

    Government Minister authorises destruction of Buzzards

    DISGUSTING......I am sure there is skulduggery afoot round my way as the Kestrels/Buzzards are a bit thin on the ground so far this season - hope it's because they are nesting etc and they show up with young later in the year. I tackled a dodgy bloke in Feb who stated he and the farmer were...

    How to put a perch in for shorties....!!

    Ah yes a valid point but it seems this is a policy used by the people who administer some certain reserves. At one popular hide that had kingies in 2010 there was a lot of interesting things (dragons,butterflies etc) using the undergrowth in front of the hide. This was until one day I arrived...

    No Display

    Sorry if this is the wrong section but...... A few weeks ago all of a sudden I noticed there was NO display in the viewfinder of my Olympus E 510. The camera would go through the focussing and take shots that were in focus but I did not know if focus was achieved through the focus mark...

    Fallow Deer photography advice

    Could you find a suitable clearing and bait it up with some old bread/veg/fruit and then the hard bit...invest in hours of waiting ...watching and seeing if anything starts taking the free grub...You might get a lot more than the Deer. If the clearing is light enough(in some conditions) you...

    I've just seen something amazing! what the heck was it? (no pic)

    Well the day IS brightened up now......... I too am wondering what else anyone can do to help the poster short of sending him a list of every bird that has ANY of the refered bits. A more practicable thing would be to suggest looking out for it some more and getting a shot of it.....then...

    You have got to be applauded for being up front and just begging for votes.........at the same time it's done your reputation no good.
