    Gull with deformed bill, Somerset UK

    I saw this chap/chapess at Watchet in Somerset last week and thought it might be of interest. (I'm sure there's a 'proper' place for photos of aberrant plumage and deformed bills but I couldn't find it!)

    Raptor on the Farne Islands today (UK)

    We saw this brown raptor high on one of the rocky outermost Farne Islands today. Appearance suggested female Merlin but it did look a bit too big for that. Similar size (length) to nearby Razorbills. Legs out of sight, didn't fly. I don't see all that many Merlins so am unsure of the ID -...

    Birding from Ferries

    Having travelled around many of the Scottish Islands in recent years, and also taken some trips to Ireland, I wonder how satisfactory other birders have found birding from ferries has been? Of course, many of us are "old hands" at watching from the "Scillonian", but how do other journeys...
