    Bald Robin

    We have noticed a robin visiting our garden who has no feathers at all around his head. His head is white, around his eyes too. I am presuming it is a disease? Has anyone seen anything similar and what disease would it be? He doesn't act/look poorly. Poor robin though - he looks awful!

    Something I have always felt very strongly about

    I have just read the following article in my local newspaper and would like to draw it to your attention, as I expect a lot of birders must go out early morning, and, may feel inclined and be able to help end such cruelty to wild animals. LAW LORDS RULE CUB HUNTING ILLEGAL As September...

    Birding in Austria????

    I am having my first holiday in Austria next month. Staying in the mountains, Ischgl, close to the Swiss border, west of Innsbruck. I know there is a nature reserve east of Innsbruck (I have done my research on BF!). Have any members been on holiday there?? Any help about where to go for...

    Gosforth Park Nature Reserve, Northumberland

    Can anyone tell me how to find it?? :h?: :h?: I found mention of it through fatbirder.com but as far as I could see it didn't give its exact location, so I would appreciate it if someone could give me directions (from the north - Morpeth, down A1). Also, is it actually WORTH a visit...

    Swallows

    Our first swallow has arrived back here today (all alone so far!). They always build their nest in the gable ends of a neighbouring property and there is usually quite a lot of them. Someone told me that because pesticides have killed off loads of insects the swallows havn't been able to feed...

    Duck ID please??

    I would love to know what these two are?? I took the photo about a week ago at Duridge Bay Country Park, next to East Chevington, Northumberland. I have tried to ID them myself but I'm struggling to find them....

    Just a few swans....

    Took my first pics (that are worth showing) since I joined BF 2 weeks ago. Taken at Bolam Lake yesterday in the freezing cold. My camera is no good for taking small birds at a distance (although I have tried and failed miserably)....I wouldnt dare show them on here! Someone had put seed and...

    Canada Geese

    As I walked down my garden this morning to top up the bird feeders (still in my pyjamas) I looked up to see a flock (hope thats the right word....no laughing if its not....I'm new to birding)....of geese making such a noise... I ran back into the house to get my binoculars (my daughter said she...

    Hello everyone

    I'm Val and have just joined. I am a true novice to bird watching but think it will make a lovely new hobby for me. We have several bird feeders in our garden and have just erected a bird box for blue tits (they have yet to find it but fingers crossed!). I live in a small village in mid...
