Anybody know a good place in Manchester to get a scope fixed? I have two and seem to have damaged them both (through my own carelessness and not having good cases for them).
22 Waxwings present this afternoon amongst the tree tops along Bentcliffe way, behind Morrisons in Eccles town centre. The small berry trees that line the supermarkets rear car park were jealously protected by a pair of marauding Mistle Thrushes, that scattered the Waxwings whenever they came an...

Yesterday in the Garden I watched a Great Spotted Woodpecker preening in a very strange way. It struck me as adopting a Woodpecker Yoga position! The photo I took (link below) was admittedly very poor, however in it you could make out its feet either side of the head - it was hanging upside down from curv...
