Stroke of luck just now. I found the eyepiece to my d750 on my drive before I had realised that I had lost it last night. :)

Hi Steve, Not into birding personally but there are Egrets at The Gannel river in Newquay or much better, google Hayle estuary which has hunderds of birds and is owned by the RSPB. It's about 30min drive from Newquay though.

I've used both but got to say that Panamoz after sales service is excellent. My new D750 had an issue with the remote control port. Picked up and a new one from HK within 5 days :-)

Looks more like a hippo to me with the ear by the other foot;)

Could of been someone under the infulence of drugs?

I'll join as I took the D7100 out for a stint tonight.:)

That is one crusty sensor.

Yep that is dust bunnies on the sensor. Try a rocket blower at first then have a google at sensor cleaning to see what cleaning system you would be comfortable with. I use woth a wet system and eyelead.
