    Kenya - Barbet

    a really old and rubbish scanned image of a pair of Barbet taken years ago in Tsavo NP, Kenya. Does anyone know from this whether this is of D'Arnoud's or Red and Yellow Barbet? I had this as the former but can see some hint of red and not sure whether the greenish rump is right? thanks in...

    Cuba - advice for best location

    I must confess to being lazy here and have done no research but wondered what folk think would be the best place to head for on the island for an R&R holiday in October with a non-birding partner but where a few days could be arranged with a guide to track down some choice species? I see that...

    Monk Parakeet

    so how easy are these to see in UK? Also if they have been self sustaining like Ruddy Duck, RNParakeet etc, why not CatC? http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/24/monk-parakeets-parrots-uk

    This sillouette ghosted overhead at Wells-next-sea yesterday and just gave a shape in the low cloud. Am I right in Marsh Harrier?

    This nest has failed, probably from unitentional disturbance at the dunes at Gun Hill where the Spectacled Warbler is currently building a nest in the suaeda to the delight of on-lookers. I didn't see the nest myself this morning until pointed out to me and it was hidden in grass adjacent to...

    Costa Rica - long shot BOP!

    Ok so these images are very poor and show a distant hawk or kite taken in late March in the Pacific side of Costa Rica, just north of San Isidro. Mid elevation.

    Costa Rica - Flycatcher

    Taken at hotel Fonda Vela, Monteverde last month Yellow-Olive Flycatcher? Not recorded on this day and location in my trip log although I'm unclear on what it might otherwise be. Paltry Tyrannulet perhaps although wing-bars seem wrong for this? Views appreciated.

    Norfolk Camera Co - Dereham

    Anyone know how this repair outlet which I have used in the past, is faring? A friend has just been given a rubber cheque as a part refund and they seemingly didn't have £10 cash on the premises? Sad if they are going the way of so many others.

    Ortolan Buntings

    http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/09/ortolan-bunting-slaughter-ignored-france#start-of-comments We shouldn't complain given that protected wildlife in Britain is no less protected by the British than we see here from the French.
