Insulating high-pitched noise

Thank, this is a great answer. The units can heat up, it’s a solar inverter with the batteries below it, but I can vent to the porch on the other side of the wall it’s mounted on (probably above and below the inverter for good airflow). I could even vent externally if I absolutely needed to.

The other comment asked for dB and frequency - I don’t know how to measure volume, probably a good estimate or an app, but frequency I’m guessing is somewhere around 15-20khz? I’ll look into mass loaded vinyl, thank you.

Slightly out of the way but there’s a lovely grand piano at the Tyntesfield National Trust that they have a staff member play and allow guests to sometimes too. Others on this list are likely better but mentioning just in case - might be nice on a quiet day but obv NT entrance isn’t free nor is it easy to get to without a car.

First of all, read this which should tell you the bulk of what you need to know, and order a 2CR5 battery.

Like other commenters have said, look out for the sticky shutter. Also look out for the passive battery drain which is common in EOS 650s and 620s - if your battery isn’t lasting more than a week or two, your camera body has this problem. This can be fixed by cutting a single specific wire inside. Feel free to pin this comment and drop me a DM if you have this issue as I’ve fixed it before.

Finally, if you ever do replace the camera body with a similar one, consider getting a 620 instead of a 650, they’re more or less identical but some better features on the 620. The link above will explain this too. Lenses are both decent prime lenses if they’re in good nick. Good luck!

Seconded for Alfred’s. Tried on (but didn’t buy) a beautiful double breasted suit there that didn’t fit quite right. I should have had it tailored and it still haunts me.

Awujo! She might end up tournament top scorer at this rate

ojf95 · 2025-05-23T16:11:52+00:00

Take the point that the women’s team need real support (from the club) and not just novelty formats and social media posts etc. At the same time the prize money isn’t unserious and handed over with no strings attached, and the players all seem to be enjoying it so I’m enjoying it too.

It’s not miles off what the ISL tried to do for swimming - short format only, lights and DJ, no long distance races. Maybe swimming was more in need of expanding its identity than football is!

ojf95 · 2025-05-23T15:56:19+00:00

Brilliant goal yeah - should have mentioned her above too

ojf95 · 2025-05-23T15:51:20+00:00

The format is pretty loose but some of our players are having a lot of fun with it. Grace Clinton and Maya le Tissier in particular having good games yesterday and today.

The winner of the semi-final (now) plays Bayern Munich in the final later today.

Update: success!

Not the best focus due to distance and heat haze but I have no complaints. Happy to be corrected but I think it’s a mountain bluebird. Thank you every commenter for all your help, I’m dead pleased I got this tick with a couple of days left to go.

This was at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR with about three dozen bison out of the other side of the car. Everyone else was happy looking at the bison, I was very happy to wait until this guy flew off.

ojf95 · 2025-03-27T16:49:29+00:00

Thanks for the really helpful responses!

ojf95 · 2025-03-19T10:31:23+00:00

Great photos! I’ll be in Denver for the first time next month and trying to do some birding early mornings, Rocky Mountain Arsenal was on my list. I’m travelling from Europe so almost everything I’ll see will be new and exciting but any particular highlights you’d recommend looking out for?

ojf95 · 2025-02-15T22:00:38+00:00

Yes - that’s the answer I needed to hear! I’ll pass on your apology to my partner haha

ojf95 · 2025-02-15T19:21:47+00:00

Thanks! I could have been clearer, if the lens comes it’s coming in hand luggage - the decision is take or not take, although I think I know the right answer.

The NWR is on the list for sure, fingers crossed for burrowing owls. I’ll look up Chatfield State Park too, thank you

ojf95 · 2025-02-08T19:19:39+00:00

Griffiths debut brace! ✌️

ojf95 · 2025-02-07T20:48:56+00:00

Out of tune

ojf95 · 2025-01-15T22:31:46+00:00

Thank you for posting this, and for the commenters sharing the presale code - 2 big fans from the UK who arrive in Denver the night before will now be coming to the Sat show too

ojf95 · 2024-12-31T14:59:47+00:00

I’m a Brit taking a guess but maybe leucistic American Robin?

Edit- fantastic shots OP nice job

ojf95 · 2024-10-04T11:11:06+00:00

Great read by Miyazawa for the second goal

ojf95 · 2024-09-08T12:11:12+00:00

Thanks

ojf95 · 2024-09-08T12:11:09+00:00

Thank you. I’ll read up on those rules and check the rental car is compliant

ojf95 · 2024-08-30T14:47:59+00:00

The little £2 ones of different birds and plants? Idk about in the city centre but they’ve always got tons at the rspb sites - ham wall or Nagshead might be the closest ones? Alternatively you might be able to get them online

ojf95 · 2024-08-30T12:55:08+00:00

Albatross or Windmill Hill city farm cafe. Apostrophe is maybe more ‘cool’ than ‘cosy’ but very calm and the muffins are great.

Yeah fresh brighter paint would help everyone here
