    Red/brown medium-sized bird, London SE20 (UK)

    I didn't think of searching the gallery, oops, and I didn't notice the database until you mentioned it - thanks Andrew. It looked similar to this: So it's a juvenile Blackbird :) As for a field guide, I don't have one, sadly. I should get one, but in the meantime I have requested the garden...

    Red/brown medium-sized bird, London SE20 (UK)

    This bird was hopping about on the branches of the sycamore tree outside my window this evening, and I have no idea what it is. There was another bird about twice the size with slightly lighter colours with some bright coloured patches (blue/grey I think) and a tuft on the top of the...

    Is this a Blackbird? Black feathers with yellow beak

    I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to birds - I can just about tell the difference between a Robin and a Blue Tit. This bird was perched on a tree branch outside my window in London SE20 (United Kingdom) this morning, and to me it looks like a Blackbird, but I'd like to know for sure. I'd...

    Blackbird (male)

    I had my window open, heard a bird singing, swivelled in my computer chair and right in front of me was this bird, so I slowly reached for my camera and took some pictures while it preened, sang and looked around.

    hello, and I need help with a very young bird caught by a friend's cat

    I got an email from the animal sanctuary - sadly Donnie the baby pigeon died in the early hours of this morning.

    hello, and I need help with a very young bird caught by a friend's cat

    S/He's in the care of the animal sanctuary now, they said the first few days are the toughest but if s/he survives those then there's a good chance of making it to adulthood. The lady I met there made a nice nest for Donnie and got a heat lamp, and she said they had a bird specialist, so here's...

    hello, and I need help with a very young bird caught by a friend's cat

    I just got a call from the nearest animal rescue/sanctuary (I emailed them earlier, but they had a power cut this morning so they must have just got back on power), and they said I should bring Donnie the baby pigeon down to them as soon as possible. His current condition seems to be good, he's...

    hello, and I need help with a very young bird caught by a friend's cat

    Donnie is doing well - in that s/he hasn't keeled over yet. I'm having trouble keeping him/her warm, the desk lamp is too hot and my pocket is too cold, so I'm warming him/her up in my hand at the moment. Donnie seems to want to sleep for now, he did wake up a while ago and chirped softly so I...
