    USA Outer banks Carolina

    Thanks for help with ID folks. Struggling to ID the grackles, but enjoying the process. They all look quite scruffy. And yes of course Laughing not Franklins Gulls - my mistake.

    USA Outer banks Carolina

    Totally new to US birding, but loving trying to ID birds in a new country. I fished on the pier at Avalon, Outer Banks, North Carolina and was surrounded by these amazing grackles trying to steal the bait. Pretty big; UK jackdaw sized; bright shiny things. Boat tailed (last image)? Later we...

    Pigeon with spots! UK.

    Someone posted this on a local UK bird thread. The prey looks like a pigeon if you look at it's legs, tail feathers and size, but has a speckled breast. Not seen a pigeon domesticated or otherwise with a speckled breast like this. Any thoughts?

    Small birds Port Grimaud, France

    About 8 of these birds were in Port Grimaud, France today. Very noisy, small (about goldcrest size) and unlike anything I'd seen before. I presume they are escaped aviary birds. Anyone know what they are? Sorry for the poor quality of the photos: I took them quickly using a mobile. Thanks.

    Predated egg

    Sure. I get that we don't want to encourage egg collecting. This is a predated egg and I'm interested in what it is. Any suggestions how I might find out what it is? Happy to post elsewhere. It's only 30mm long so smaller than a moorhen which are av 43mm. Thanks for your help. Neil.
