  1. Looks like the R5 delivering good results! On our patch Dominic (ex publisher Birdwatch magazine) has also switched from his old DSLR camera to an R5 – but interestingly has also purchased the (relatively inexpensive) fixed 800mm/F11 lens, with good results so far.
    Still a sprinkling of migrants here in recent days at Ally Pally with Black Redstart, Wheatear, and White Wagtail – plus a Common Sand yesterday got all local birders flocking to our reservoir!

  2. Good article in this month’s Bridwatching mag about our 3 species of Crossbill – Common, Parrot and Scottish…but still controversy about whether they should be 3 distinct species, and difficult to ID ‘in the field’ And the author notes that if we end up with a independent Scotland, UK will lose its only endemic.
