    Plant ID

    I have been asked to identify this plant (the one the butterfly is on) without any details of location or anything like that. Thought I would cheat seeing as I have absolutely no idea and ask here! Anyone got a clue? Even family/genus would be helpful. I will try to get more details and post...

    Butterfly ID

    I have been asked to identify this butterfly (and the plant, so separate post in the plants forum) without any locational details at all or anything like that. All I can tell from the photo is that it is not British and therefore beyond my butterfly knowledge! Anyone able to get it down to...

    Ferns for ID

    Two ferns for ID, found growing today on the underside of a rail bridge. Just getting into ferns, so some expert confirmation would be helpful. Wall-rue and maybe Hart's Tongue Fern?

    A Taste of the Future?

    I have always wanted to see a Little Egret. This is not a terribly easy wish to fulfil in Scotland, but I noted with interest that one appeared to be wintering at RSPB Loch Leven. With this in mind, I jumped at an opportunity to go birding there last Saturday. Arriving at the reserve, an...

    Coltsfoot

    The winter has been very mild here in Glasgow, and on Friday (3rd) I saw my first Coltsfoot of the year. I am assuming I'm not the only one to have noticed some out early, so how many other people have seen it, and where?

    Waxwing Encounter

    It took 4 years, 22 days, 2 hours, and 20 minutes, but I have done it at last. At 16:10 today, I had my second ever encounter with a Waxwing. In 2012, when I was relatively new to birdwatching, I came across their page in my book, and from that moment on I wanted to see one. When I saw in the...

    2016: A Year to Remember

    As the sun sets on another year, one inevitably reflects on the events of the past twelve months. For me, at least, they have been quite remarkable. I have been a birdwatcher for about five years, but I only really got going just two years ago. 2016 was the year in which I did many of the great...

    Garden Surprises

    I looked out of the window yesterday and saw, to my surprise and delight, that there were three Bullfinches in my garden. They do not visit during the summer, so when I see them at this time of year, I always enjoy it. And then things got even better. I looked out the window a few minutes later...

    Which Crucifer?

    Is anyone able to name this crucifer that I found growing at the base of a wall? The flower diameter was 4mm.

    Collared Doves in Glasgow

    Collared Doves are always talked of as common garden birds, but I live in the south side of Glasgow, and have only seen them once in the garden in the last 3 years, and only a few times in the suburbs. Seeing one is always something that makes me very happy. Has anyone else noticed an absence in...

    Hi

    I am a young birdwatcher from Glasgow. I have been into it for over three years now and am always wanting to know more. My list recently reached the 100 mark.
