16th September

Bumped into Ian Scott at Roils Head this PM. He soughted out some of the camera problems I was having, thanks. A Stonechat was the first of the Autumn. What a bad year its been for this species, the cold spell in February must have wiped out loads. 6 LBBGs flew east, 2 Kestrels, 1 juv Goldfinch and a few Meadow Pipits present. High Road Well Moor produced 2 Stock Doves, 2 Common Gulls, 2 Skylarks and several Swallows.

Hi Nick

I wouldn't mind meeting up with you again sometime. I've just splashed out on a new camera, the updated version of yours FZ38 & thought you might be able to give me some tips. Could you email me your contact details to apolytes@hotmail.co.uk?
I'm away now until the 28th.
Cheers
Mick

Hi Mike, Ian Scott was using the same modle you have just bought,he's got a 1.7 converter attached to it. Unfortunatly Im going away on 26th for a few weeks so will be in touch later. I use the shutter speed mode 99% of the time but Ian says the P mode works fine and will automatically set your camera for you.
