Greetings One and All!
Welcome to my website. It has been set up for Digiscopers and bird enthusiasts of all levels, so wether you're new to this or been doing it for years then you're more than welcome here.
I'm not new to birdwatching, but it was missing something. Then I discovered digiscoping and it felt like a natural progression. I have now been a digiscoper for 2 years.
From taking pictures at your bird table, to getting out in the field, digiscoping with either a digital compact or DSLR this site covers most areas, in a not too confusing way, I hope!

It makes birdwatching even better!
Most of my photos have been taken with equipment from the cheaper end of the market. You can, if you enjoy digiscoping, upgrade your equipment over time.
So don't panic if your early results aren't as good as you'd have hoped (see above!), as they will get better with good equipment and the two P's, Patience & Practice!
Rest assured that if I can digiscope, then you can too! I had little or no real experience of photography, but now I wouldn't be on a bird reserve without my digiscope kit.
None of the pictures on this website have been edited in any way, except to crop and resize them. I never adjust any of the photographic parameters, so what you see is exactly how the picture was taken.
So, if you're young or old(ish!), novice or pro then give it a go!
Digiscoping, A great way to get even closer to nature.
I hope you enjoy my site.

A bit about me & where I go.....
I do most of my birdwatching & digiscoping in and around Lowestoft, a smallish town in the county of Suffolk, which is on the eastern coast of the United Kingdom. I occasionaly venture out a bit further, but as I'll never be a "Twitcher" I tend to stay on local patches (see page tabs above.)
Be it anything from a Blue Tit to a Bittern or a Goldfinch to a Golden Eagle I'm happy with whatever I see or get to take photos of. Getting all stressed out about one bird a hundred miles away is just no fun at all!
Should we say Yes or No to Sea Eagles?

There is also a new "Weather Widget"at the bottom of the page. Take a look if you're thinking of coming to Lowestoft for the day!
After a few family problems last weekend, I was finally able to get to Levington Marina to see the Black Necked Grebe. Luckily for most, this bird has been there some time now and shows really well. I'd recommend to anyone to see it before it goes.
