    I’ve just been sent this by my wife. Im assuming peregrine but it’s been a long time since I saw a hobby, it looks very red and I know a lot of you will do this ID with your eyes closed. Guernsey in the Channel Islands

    Nest boxes on sticks - in the UK

    I am in the process of developing an orchard. At the moment, it is full of trees of varying sizes but mostly quite small. At the moment I don't have anything big enough to nail or otherwise attach a nest box too. In time, as the trees grow, I'm not particularly inclined to hammer nails or...

    Vine's Rustic

    I'm pretty sure this is a Hoplodrina and I'm leaning towards Vine's Rustic over The Rustic or The Uncertain on the basis of the shape of the blobs. Would anyone agree? http://www.flickr.com/photos/deep-blue/9632795585/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/deep-blue/9632788457/ Many thanks.

    Beginner's moth ids please

    So my new moth trap arrived the other day and the first night out was a roaring success but my moth id guide has yet to arrive so I'm id-ing using online resources by matching piccies. I'd be really grateful if people could correct/confirm ids in the photoset here...

    pippit, channel islands

    I was looking for a pair of reported water pippets and came across this. Coming to the conclusion it's probably a shabby mippit? http://www.flickr.com/photos/deep-blue/8606682464/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/deep-blue/8606683552/

    Sierra Andujar, jan 13 - Iberian lynx, chameleon, etc

    The Iberian Lynx is the rarest cat species in the world with only 300ish individuals out there. Notwithstanding this and its secretive nature, birdforumers have had decent success searching in the Sierra Andujar for them. I joined a trip in January to chance my hand. I should say first up that...

    hybrid duck

    obviously the head position doesn't help but for some reason I've convinced myself this may be a hybrid as opposed to just a plain old manky mallard. Does anyone have any thoughts? http://www.flickr.com/photos/deep-blue/8525220564/in/photostream Many thanks.

    dead leaf, india

    I found this dead leaf moth on my hotel room door just outside Kanha NP in central india. I'm hoping the camo is spectacular enough that it will be known to someone here to put a name on it.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/deep-blue/7068929007/
