    I'm down there 24 th Jan 2011 for a week's course. I remember going there a few years ago and saw Green Woodpecker in the little reserve to the south of the centre.

    Female Redstart ? - Corbett NP, India 1-2-10

    It's ISO 1600 so a bit noisy but you can definitely see the blue

    Female Redstart ? - Corbett NP, India 1-2-10

    Some excellent spotting by Pete Haines - there's a faint blue shoulder patch on photo #1 so it's a Small Niltava

    Female Redstart ? - Corbett NP, India 1-2-10

    Definitely no tail-flicking at any stage - I think that rules out Slaty-Blue Fly. I think the tail is too long for Little Pied Fly

    Female Redstart ? - Corbett NP, India 1-2-10

    By the side of the main road north of the Dangardi Gate near Mohan. Spotted feeding on the road, it then flew up and perched on a stump. Initial impression was a very grey/green bird with an obvious chestnut brown tail and rump - I'm thinking female Redstart but which species ??

    Bird Guide - Playa Larga - Chino ?

    Does anyone have an email address for Chino or any other bird guide in the Playa Larga area ? I'm going over in February and need accomodation and a guide sorting out. I've tried [email protected] which bounces with 'too many hops' and [email protected] and got no answer...

    Atlas listing

    SJ89N (central Manchester) - I'm up to 10 species now, including Peregrine which isn't bad from an 8th floor view from an office block. Looking forward to starting my 2 tetrads over the weekend in north Cheshire.

    Going to Bharatpur next week and...

    Avoid the Forest Lodge at all costs - horrible 1960's era Soviet style concrete block with rude staff and no hot water. Falcon is very friendly and does nice meals, bike hire etc. I hope for your sake there is water there - it was bone dry in November and very few birds - loads of Jackals...

    Tarts tick....

    I'm with PaulD definition #1 - I thought it was a sighting of a rareish bird which took very little effort because it was so obvious or it had been staked out - such as Sammy the Stilt at Titchwell which was an easy tick for a year list.

    Black Crake help

    Here's a picture of one. Quite a comical bird with a day-glo yellow bill and bright red legs.
