    Any thoughts this bird?

    Spotted this on Friday on the coast at Keyhaven on the Hampshire coast, just where a stream comes in and the Hurst Spit starts. There was a group of about 6 of them. My best guess (aided by the RSPB app) is that it's a Turnstone in winter plumage. Yellow legs very distinctive. Any thoughts...

    Unidentified bird call just outside Winchester, England

    I normally pride myself on being able to identify most birds in SE England by their calls alone. But I was walking along a dense tree and hedge-lined footpath that ran between two farmers' fields and I heard a call that's defeated me. And I couldn't see the bird either even though it was...

    White-fronted robin in Blue Mountains, NSW?

    I spotted this fellow on the wall of a garden in Cottesloe, a coastal suburb of Perth in Australia, but can't be sure of what it is. The most obvious thought is that it is one of the smaller corvines. Perhaps my field guide (Slater) isn't good enough but none of the illustrations match this...

    Birds in Stockholm archipelago

    I have been walking in some of the islands in the Stockholm archipelago and have come across two birds I can't identify. The first taken on the the island of Utö (just one picture) looks a bit like a shrike but our field guide doesn't agree! It had been raining hence its rather drab look. We...

    Bird identification (in London Zoo unfortunately!)

    I recently went to London Zoo with my 13 year old Peruvian goddaughter and I'm now putting an album of photos together for her. But there were three birds I can't identify. The first looks like it could be a type of ibis but a google image search failed to find a match. The second clearly a...
