    Blackcap and garden warbler

    Irrespective of tempo regarding Blackcap the fluted aspect always comes through (a good recording by the way👍). Garden Warbler can also adjust tempo but to my ear never matches the fluted quality of the former. Also, there is often an almost “manic” delivery component (fast and scratchy) that...

    Thought this might be of general interest?

    As improbable and unlikely as it may be, Little Auk did occur on the KGV (c2 miles away) c40years ago….don’t think I’ll be seeing one flying past…any time soon. Regarding RC’s, a bit like the P.Office too institutional and arrogant! My terms and conditions for garden list acceptance are as...

    Thought this might be of general interest?

    On holiday last week in Cyprus, I bumped into a very keen garden lister, being of the same ilk, we exchanged lists. Both having been living at our respective abodes for 40 and 41 years respectively, of course all the “top drawer birds” were exchanged on both sides much to our mutual glee. I’ve...

    Odd Wheatear on Paphos last week?

    I think? I can recall it tail cocking on occasion but I can’t swear to it! 😩

    Odd Wheatear on Paphos last week?

    That might be subjective, as looking on line the images appear to perhaps look a touch longer than they do in the Collins illustrations. I note that the images of Finsch’s on line look extremely compelling to my eye, apart from the bird being “very dark” also showing rusty flanks, don’t know if...

    Turtle sp…Paphos last week.

    Found what looked like a pair of mating turtles inshore off the headland, the default would be Loggerhead, failing that, Green Turtle, however looking on line at the head pattern, it appears to look more like Hawksbill. Although they’re not supposed to occur in the Eastern Med? Cheers

    I would think that you would be better placed than most, to have the necessary exposure to the variable plumages of Cyp.Pied Andy. Many thanks👍

    Odd Wheatear on Paphos last week?

    Came across this bird at the Architectural Ruin on the headland, it did look odd…ie being particularly dark, more so than ye’r average female/imm type Eastern Black-eared Wheatear. As far as the images are concerned, it was unfortunate that I was always following it into the sun. That said...
