    Sandmartins

    I forgot about that Frank! Would it have any birds there this year, as it's only new isn't it? It's been a while since I have been there; so I will check that out first. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Dragonfly ID

    It does look more like that one, being all the same shaded colour. It was found on the edge of a sandy heathland, down a Rhododendron lane. The nearest river is about a mile away and I don't think there are any ponds near by, but I could be wrong. Thanks for all your help. I will buy myself a...

    It's close, ( it might even be it), but the one I saw looked all one colour, I didn't see no hint of another colour there.

    Dragonfly ID

    I can't see it in any of busyb suggestions. The size was about 3" long. At first at a distance when flying, it looked like a dark blue butterfly but than when I'd caught up with it I soon realized it was a dragonfly or damselfly. When perched it kept it's wings closed, it also had black legs and...

    Dragonfly ID

    Hello, I came across a fluorescent deep blue dragonfly today and it was beautiful. I sure would love to know what it is. I've been looking online but to no avail. Can you point me at some to look at. I live in the south of England and it was just of some heath land but not on the heath it self...

    Hi, I'm going to Talybont-on-Usk at the end of June; only going for a week so any advice on good birding areas would be great. I've never been there before but I am looking forward to it. I did post this somewhere else and was told here was the best best place for advice. Thank you.

    Parrot UK

    I've look at the photos of your suggestion and I'm 95% sure it was a yellow-headed Amazon. I saw it just before dark, (my neighbors looking at it caught my attention), It was very large and seemed to have a long tail but there was a lot of leaves in the way. The yellow spot on the head it right...

    Strange Sparrowhawk

    A month ago I visited a shop on the end off an industrial estate next to some trees. I approached the glass door and right in front of the door was a sparrowhawk with a freshly caught wood pigeon. What was strange was the sparrow hawk never flew off as I approached it: i got to about 3 feet in...

    poor old peacock butterfly.

    Kathy, Yes Joni Mitchell wrote it, but the group you are thinking of I think is Crosby, Stills and Nash. I bet you have been humming the song all day. Roger.

    poor old peacock butterfly.

    I was gardening today when a butterfly, it was a peacock, you could just tell this and he looked like he had been through the washing machine, his wings were all fraid and there was nothing left of him, he struggled around the garden for about 10 min and then fell dead right at my feet. Poor old...
