    Loch Garten Ospreys

    Can anyone give me a link to the osprey diary at Loch Garten please. Each of the links I've tried have been woefully out of date. Is the webcam there live yet? The pictures I'm getting are obviously at night time. Thanks in advance

    Lack Of Birds

    A work colleague has recently come back from a holiday in France. She's travelled hundreds of sterile miles through Brittany & Normandy and tells me she was staggered at the lack of birds and wildlife seen. Sweetcorn crops everywhere but an upsetting lack of birds or roadkill. She thinks...

    GOSHAWK: Sky1

    Watched a programme on Sky1 last evening "Stop, Search, Seize" about the work of the Irish Police. An officer on patrol had stopped a car for some reason and was asking the driver for his papers etc. On the front passenger seat was a bird (a big chick) sitting on a blanket. It wasn't fledged...

    Bird Id

    I know many people already do this but when asking for IDs please remember to put the country name in the thread title. Reading through a few pages of unread threads I opened threads that I didn't need to, as I'm not familiar with most foreign birds, including USA, Bulgaria, India. Thanks

    Kodak camera

    Can anyone help my friend please. He has a problem with his camera that isn't on the trouble-shooting pages. I'll reproduce his comments here: "It is a Kodak M1033 HD 10 megapixels. The problem is that when I try to switch it on (by pushing the power button) I get a message on the screen...

    Ringed Brambling

    Is the BTO website the place to go to leave/obtain information on a ringed male brambling found today in Todmorden, West Yorkshire? It flew into a window and played dead for long enough to read the ring number before flying off to rest in a tree Sandra

    Loch Garten webcam

    Just been watching the live webcam at the Osprey Centre. Amongst the hordes of coal tits has been a crested tit - on the feeder and the perch Just a but puzzled because there's a function taking place there today (whisky tasting) outside the centre so I would have thought the visitors would...

    Loch Garten Ospreys

    I see that the 100th osprey has fledged (about 3 hours ago) from the nest at Loch Garten. She was one of three and named MilliCENT and of course was the one the staff there were hoping would be the first out. :-O:-O

    Cartoonist

    Just been reading some old threads re the Daily Express cartoonist. I do so enjoy looking for the bird(s) he hides in his cartoons. And now there's two more creatures to look for............. His drawings really look as if he knows the birds he's portraying. :king:;)

    Skye - October

    We're off to the Isle of Skye for a week soon, followed by a week on Speyside. Not been to Skye for many years but we're going with Gordon Hamlett in our rucksack(?!) and the Skye bird book (McMillan) too, so if we miss anything it will be our own fault. If anyone has any useful information to...

    Leighton Moss

    Had a ride out to Leighton Moss today and spent a delightful few hours there. It was high tide when we arrived at the sea hides and there was huge flocks of both black tailed godwit & redshank. Little egrets and avocets around too. Splendid new hide - far right of the reserve. Managed to...

    Isle Of Skye

    I'd like some advice please. We're planning on visiting Skye in September/October this year for a week but it's a few years since we visited and aren't sure where to stay to get the best out of our holiday. We will be S/c and the cost of a property isn't a big factor, within reason. We want...

    Labels

    It's that time of year again when I need my Christmas card list but since my system went onto the new Windows (7?) I find it more and more difficult. I used to have a brilliant, easy way of creating pages of labels on the old Windows but my pages vanished or went askew so they couldn't be...
