My niece struggled to get Egyptian currency in the UK before she visited this month. You can draw it out of the cash point machines with your card, or put Sterling in the machine and it will give EGP...

The beautiful Osprey, so concentrated on its fish I could get so close to the sunshade. Unfortunately my 800 mm lens meant I had to stand way back :D

Ooooooh how exciting. Where do I start!! 😀❤️💕

Joined YD in 2004. Still living year round in El Gouna, Red Sea, Egypt.

Haven't dived for a few years now. Was only ever a recreational diver and ex Guildford BSAC member.

Totally into birds...

Snapped from an Uber in a traffic jam on a bridge crossing the River Nile in Cairo a couple of nights ago:

Well done Barnaby :clap:

This super surprised me to see a tree like this in the middle of a crazy busy city like Cairo. After some research it turned out to be a Bengali Fig tree planted in 1868!

Typical. No rain for a year and as soon as the competition closes:

El Gouna Film Festival has just closed. Silence of the Tides was my favourite documentary (no dialogue). The photography and sound are just incredible. Keep an eye out for it and check out the...

I think we last had rain this time last year.

The tides make a huge difference to my bird spotting. This is a favourite Mangrove lagoon during a big February high tide. You can just about see a small sandbar above center of the photo where the...

Thank you. It is all voluntary work for Rotary so there will be no funding and the goal is to create jobs for Egyptians.

I just bought the latest technology mirrorless full frame camera with 4K...

I guess the slow motion reduces the quality of the video? Though the storks over the long white building were with the 100-500mm lens and 1.4 extender so at 700mm.

When the storks fly over they...

Wow, thank you so much. I will post it to the public :)

What a nightmare that was. Loving DaVinci but every time I make a small adjustment it changes something major without me noticing.

Quiting while I have something reasonable.

What do you think...

Yes, the migration crosses the sea just north of El Gouna where all the wind farms are at Ras Gareb. This is the narrowest point to cross over to the Sinai. Then it's land all the way. There is a...

Great advice. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I downloaded a beginners' manual first but got confused. Played a good video tutorial this morning and made a start.

Now have a camera full of more stork migration clips as it has been...

Thank you. And September has just started brilliantly. A Manic Migration Morning!! :)
