FA (UK Only) Bresser 10x50 Binoculars New Unused in Box
Tue, 28 Oct 2008 06:54:54 -0700 (PDT)
Hi,
I am having a clearout and have up for auction a spare pare of Bresser
10x50 Binoculars which have never been used and are in the original
box. 10x50 are an ideal size for birdwatching as they are the highest
power that can easily be hand held before vibration becomes an issue
and yet they are powerful enou ...

Wind farms
Sun, 26 Oct 2008 11:47:32 +0000

sightings records to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology database, eBird.

BirdBase with no idea that they could later be used by scientists at
Cornell and worldwide -- can be uploaded t ...

Ultrasonic Cat Deterents
Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:20:15 +0100
A new cat has appeared in the neighbourhood and seems determined to both
feast on the birds in our garden and crap in our vegtable patch :-((
I'm considering getting a couple of ultrasonic deterents:
