The image files were originally 640x480 pixels captured to the memory stick of my SONY camcorders (a TRV900 and a TRV20). Unless otherwise specified, they are from interlaced videos and so do not expect the resolution to match those of digiscopers. Those images recorded with progressive scans or the photo function are not interlaced and are expected to be better. All images have been touched up or cropped using LViewPro or Photoshop. Most had undergone about 75% JPG compression to reduce file size. 
Date Albums
3 Feb 2002 A Raptors Flight Album had been created. This contains a few pictures of Crested Honey Buzzard video during the RWW2001 and a Black Eagle videoed at Pos Slim in 2001.

13 Mar 2002 A Feb/Mar 2002 album was added. Includes videos of a Chestnut-winged Cuckoo and some photo shots with both of my camcorders. I have now started using Photoshop to edit my photos and stopped using LViewPro. Hence, slightly better photo quality will be expected in in this and subsequent albums.

19 Jun 2002 May 2002 Album. This album contains videos and photos taken with the TRV20 camcorder through the Televue eyepiece. I was testing this combination in the hope of finding an easy way to take vignet-free video. The results are encouraging.
19 Jul 2002 June 2002 Album. The migrants have left but their absence is more than made up by the resident species many of which have started or completed their breeding seasons.

22 Jul 2002 Jun 2002 Cutia Album. This album is dedicated to the nesting pair of cutia found at the Telecoms loop of Fraser Hill. I went there to take videos of them on 22-23 and 29-30 June.
