Long lens bracket Manfrotto 393
1 Reply

Not sure if this helps anyone, but one of my reason for going to Bird Fair was to look at long lens brackets for my tripod (Manfrotto). I've been looking for quite a while on these and there seem to…Continue

Hi Charles, thanks for the reply. I've since found out that here in the Fens in February they hold two hare shoots and leave what they think is a reasonable amount. I've now found a great place nearby where hares seem to be in good numbers.

Well although we are distance apart from each other so this could be deemed coincidence, I've also noticed an absence. i live on Wirral and in one cemetery it was easy to see a dozen or more and film them from the car easily. They would lie up…

Sigma 120-300 f2.8 EX APO DG - Why buy one?

My 300mm f4 ED IF Nikon lens needed upgrading and whilst I would have preferred the Nikon 200-400 f4 VRII the price tag of £5000 wasn't realistic. So after much deliberation and looking at reviews the Sigma won the day. But how good is it?

First impressions

A place you might find interesting if you come down this way again is The Lee Valley Park it is to the north of Waltham Abbey, leevalleypark.org.uk.

I have not been to RSPB at Fowlmere for some while, but yes it is a good reserve, I know it well, in my farming days used to work at the back of it on what was Fowlmere airfield.

At 10:37pm on September 5, 2010, Debby Thorne said…: they certainly are - I am lucky to work at the eagle hide at Loch Frisa so eat, breath and sleep white tailed eagles!
