I can thoroughly recommend a subscription to the Tooth & Claw newsletter published by Peter Cairns, Mark Hamblin and Ian Rowlands. It's a companion to their website, which concerns itself with wild UK predators. Their statement:
"We strongly believe that polarized views held about Britain’s wild predators - both present and future - can be reconciled through a shared willingness to celebrate our natural heritage and through partnership and open discussion. This challenge can be met with a greater understanding of predators’ ecology and a stronger empathy with the many communities whose lives are affected by their presence."
The April edition contains information on sea eagles, nordic predators, wilderness reserves in Scotland, the re-introduction of lynx to Scotland and the control of sparrowhawks, amongst other things. Well worth a read!
Excellent bird images from Romy Ocon in the Philippines (link below.) He has a large collection of equipment which he uses expertly, and as well as a huge collection of excellent bird images, his site has a lot of useful technical information including a number of lens and body tests.
There's a new newsletter from Andy Rouse at the WarehouseExpress website. It details his mammoth trip around the bottom of the world: Antarctica, The Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Ascension Island. It's well worth a read.
Rushing quickly over the fact that Alaska is not in the UK, here is a link to some great owl photos by Bob Hallinen. It's from the BirdTLC blog and leads to some great Alaskan owl information. Googling for Bob Hallinen is quite a humbling experience - he appears to be a very good all-round photo journalist as well as an ace wildlife snapper.
Just in case you haven't spent enough on your massively expensive telephoto lenses, you can cough up even more with a Lens Coat. They do look rather nice though!
