IS this a first - a wildlife writer with a kind word for Sitka spruce forests?
In his far-reaching and thoroughly entertaining book, Wild Galloway, Ian Carter offers a different perspective on a habitat with few friends - among either wildlife or humans.
"On a stifling July day, it will be...
Lorsque l'on se déplace à pied avec du matériel photo ancien, boîtiers + téléobjectif, + trépied, + bouteille d'eau, etc... On peut regretter de n'avoir pas choisi un modèle de jumelles compact et léger. C'est mon cas... Je me suis offert une paire de zeiss Victory FL 8x56, pour m'apercevoir que...
Cerco qualche persona che abbia posato gli occhi nei due nuovi modelli Nikon 10x - 12x25 S datemi un vostro giudizio grazie
Hi there, I have a chance to purchase a pair of Sig Zulu 9 15x56 still in their original box for $700. I have read some glowing reviews online of other sizes, but have not been able to find any on this particular size. These will definitely be used on a tripod. Very curious if anyone has...
Hi all. New here! I am saving up for a pair of binos for general animal observation and hunting in Canada. I'd like to cover all areas such as boreal forest to the rocky mountain regions. I am deciding to save up for the 10-52 or the 14-52. I would like to see lots of detail but have a good...

VERY few commentators on wildlife are bold enough to criticise conservation bodies in public - at least not too forcefully.
An exception was the late Don Scott, a passionate writer-ornithologist, who had no compunction about throwing a few powerful punches in directions where he felt they were...
Dark Flock is a collection of freaky feathered fiction by Canadian birder Matt Poll
AN alert against interfering with nature has been sounded by an American ornithologist.
From installing nestboxes to introducing or re-introducing species, organisations and individuals often like to experiment in the belief that they are doing good.
But Dorian Anderson warns: "Ecosystems do...
Anyone know about this scope / think this is a good deal?

I am long standing but not expert bird watcher - mostly woodland and other closest range watching, so bins fine. But I am...
Birding alongside an estuary
"I SOMETIMES wonder if Hudson was ever actually able to switch off from bird protection and relax . . ."
So comments Conor Mark Jameson midway through in his illuminating study, Finding W.H. Hudson - The Writer Who Came to Britain to Save The Birds.
The observation is understandable. Hudson...
SUCH is the ever-quickening decline in bird populations that their migration is now "a shadow of what it once was".
So writes American birder Scott Weidensaul in his important book, A World on The Wing - The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds.
But he quickly adds: "That shadow is still mighty...
A great lens, not too heavy and VERY sharp. Works great with 1.4X teleconverter for 420mm! (photo @ 300mm)
Peregrine 8x32 Binocular
Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me. After years of wonderful use I want to replace my Swarovski ATS 80 HD with a newer scope. Especially in evening conditions I notice that a larger objective lens is not a luxury. So I was thinking at Swarovski ATX 85 or Kowa TSN-88A. I tested them...
