    Uk Bird ID - Help please

    Hi, I started out on the Littlehampton beach and saw a number of Oystercatchers and some Little Egrets but they wouldn't let me get close enough. Switched over to the West beach and despite some dog walkers spooking them I was able to get within 25' of these. I will try again some time...

    Uk Bird ID - Help please

    Thanks for the response, much appreciated. I assumed that becuase they were in a flock together they would be the same species. Lot's to learn ;0) Cheers Alex

    Uk Bird ID - Help please

    Taken today on Littlehampton beach in West Sussex. I am no birder so I have trawled through my one and only book and my best guess is a Dunlin. Anyone able to confirm or offer an alternative? Thanks in advance. Alex

    UK Spider ID - Help Please

    I think I have found my ID, Araneus angulatus. Pictures on the web look the same as mine so I am confident. Looks to be quite rare for Sussex. Cheers Alex

    gigrin farm

    I did that last year and it was a great experience. Like someone else said they go so quick that it's better to be a bit shorter than longer. There was also a lot in the sky so singling one out was not easy. Have fun Alex

    Cheers. Chiffchaff does sound more likely and the images on the WWW look about right. Thanks Alex

    Garden Warbler in February?

    I have just seen a small pale bird in my garden that I have never seen before. It was approximately the size of a blue tit, pale beige in colour, even paler on the breast. Looking through the books I have an don the web I can only find images that lead me to it being a Garden Warbler. Is it...

    Help Setting Up A Feeding Station

    Good points well made. As the location is a distance away from me I don't think I would be able to get to it regularly enough. I'll have to have a rethink. Cheers Alex

    Help Setting Up A Feeding Station

    Hi All, Not sure if this is the right forum for this but I could use some advice about setting up a feeding station. We live in a urban area and the only place that the birds come to is the feeders at the front of the house. The back garden is in competition with a few other gards and we seem...

    Bag Hides?

    Thanks Den, just the sort of info I was after. I will let the order run and see how I get on with the bag hide before spending much more. I ordered the heavier one as the lighter one did not come in the Advantage Timber pattern that you mentioned and I preferred that pattern. I might try and...

    Bag Hides?

    Are they any good or should I be looking at getting a pop-up hide instead? Some people rate them, others I have read have said they are not good as every move you make is visible. I have ordered one from WildlifeWatchingSupplies.co.uk but could cancel in favour of something else. Looking to...

    False Widow Spiders (UK)

    Folks, Does anyone know if I should report the sighting of False Widow spiders to any particular organisation? I don't know if it's of significant interest or not but we have a number of them in and round our house. I know they are not really dangerous but as a non native spider I wondered if...
