    Yellow Wag' Subspecific ID: Barcelona

    Hi all, I've been having fun wagtails the last few weeks. I've never had the chance to study Yellow Wagtails, coming from Ireland so I'm making the most of my new home and learning a lot. It even led to me finding a male Citrine Wagtail the other day! Anyway, so far I've positively identified...

    Time for an upgrade - 40d with 300mm f4 + 1.4 converter to? Advice apprecated

    Hi all, I have been using a Canon 40D with the 300mm f4 and 1.4 converter for about 3 years now and have really enjoyed this combination. However, I would really like to step my game up a bit now and would like better detail and/or reach to my pictures. Can anyone suggest the next logical...

    Seahouses birding

    Being from ireland which has a much lower biodiversity bird wise and otherwise i will be particularly interested in seeinf our "missing species". I assume the woodepeckers, nuthatch, marsh or willow tits, pied fly, redstart, tawny owl etc will be within my reach (amongst others?)

    Seahouses birding

    Hi all, Will be spending some time in Seahouses over the next while but will be limited to birding by foot. Is holy island a long walk from there? Any nearby sites worth checking? Any general gen at all much appreciated. Cheers. Sean

    Odd finch, Bangor Wales

    Look up geenfinch x goldfinch and all will be clear. Also take a look at the green just outside flanks. Linnet does not show this. Grrenfinch x Golfinch without question. At the end of the day.. it's mank

    Semi-collard flycatcher ??? Ethiopia.

    Then it is almost certainly a Semi-collared Flycatcher

    Semi-collard flycatcher ??? Ethiopia.

    Hi Bassel, I mean that this is not a Pied Flycacther (IMO), and is either a semi-collared or collared. The strong second wing-bar does not occur in pied flycatcher, although they can sometimes show a FAINT one. For example, these two birds from Ireland (where neither semi-collared nor collared...

    Black headed wader?

    Ruff it is.

    Semi-collard flycatcher ??? Ethiopia.

    The best I can do is rule out Pied Flycatcher, with that strong second wing-bar and large white patch at the base of the primaries.

    I hope you don't mind but I have taken the liberty of brightening this shot a little bit. Seán

    Bird of Prey Desert, nr Basra Iraq

    Just made a stupid mistake :-C. Of course females do not have these white flashes, therefore based on the features listed for picture three, this is a female European Nightjar for me.

    Bird of Prey Desert, nr Basra Iraq

    This looks very dark and has a broad, pale upper wing-bar covert, as well as a dark carpal bar (see picture 3), therefore I would probably call this a European Nightjar. But it lacks any obvious flight patches (on the wing and tail). I know 1st-autumn European Nightjars can lack these, but am...
