Not much at EGP so we went to Brighouse Sewage Works where the Green Sandpiper flew from the only filter bed to the other side of the river, also 19 Pink Feet flew west.
Bradley Hall Farm produced two Yellowhammers(almost as scarce as the Green Sand in Calderdale).Also the remains of a deer strapped to a tree, is this some kind of strange hunting practise.
Like Phil Wood I also suffer from vignetting when I zoom in with my camera, does anybody know of a reasonable priced camera that does not do this.

Despite being a bit of a camera man I'm don't know if this isn't a problem experienced by all cameras when used in conjunction with a scope. The answer would be to buy a zoom eye piece for the scope, for advice I would recommend Jessops in Halifax. They used to have a guy work there who was into digiscoping, astronomer, if he can photograph and zoom in on the moon and stars I'm sure he could explain the best why to manage a bird.
Cracking photos Nick.
I have a Kodak Z 740 with a 10x zoom. Its a smashing camera but useless for digiscoping for the same reason.My last one was a little Fuji with a 3x zoom like you used to have,I think Nick, and it was no problem .BS
Have a look on the many digiscoping websites. Not very many cameras work all that well. Warehouse express have Nikon 4500s for a very good price at the moment - well under £300. This is the camera that made digiscoping popular - but requires a bit of practice and it is a bit slow (shutter lag) compared to modern cameras. Despite its age it is a very good wildlife camera, great macro and the colour rendition is excellent. Some folk have obtained really excellent results with this camera. Batteries are a pain - expensive don't last very long.
