    If you want the news of less rare things to go out, submit it via birdguides - as they aren't called Rare Bird Alert they dont have the same kind of filters. I submit news of rare birds to RBA as the news tends to get out much faster, however news of things such as Goosander at UEA or a good...

    Confessions of a birder Dear all, please forgive me as today I have personally caused the death of a bird.... After successfully twitching the Issy shrike at Horsey I was making my way back to the car when the issy flew away from the crowd and back towards us. It landed on a nearby bush...

    Of interest yes, but the area where it was caught is strictly no access unfortunately and it was no doubt just moving through.

    Holme might be another option, they often do much better for l-t skuas, poms and corys... also they might be able to help the novice birder with identification...

    Big white bird with dark head out in the middle of the broad, never near the edge, normally in group... Blind I think...

    A great idea ;) but unfortunately a phd takes 3-4 years and there probably won't be any left by then...

    Hence: I'd imagine placed in the right place they might.

    Will they take mealworms? If so, very cheap on ebay - half a kilo for about 8quid - thats a lot of mealworms... Might just make the difference

    Anyone any info on this probable roller? How do you even get a 'probable' roller... I guess a non-birder could report a large bright blue bird to a birder looking for yesterdays bluethroat Lakenheath was alive with cuckoos today, no idea how many were there but saw 3 males together, and 2...

    Thanks for letting me have a look through your scope having left mine in Norwich (doh!), your shots came out better than mine, were these (or atleast the perched shot) the digiscoped rather than slr-ed shots?) Dave

    Petrel in old photo

    Yeah, that's what got me interested in the photo, photo taken early September (in english channel)

    Petrel in old photo

    My feeling was also "or am I?" - on first glance it looks that way, however I wasn't sure if it could be a trick of the light as underside of primaries also appearing pale.

    Petrel in old photo

    Hi Just looking back through some old photos and came across this petrel... Now I think i remember reading something about primary moult pattern differences between Wilsons and European, can anyone explicate? The rump appears to extend quite far but underwings and tail are I think in this...

    At the "undisclosed location ‘off’ the north coast" today, it was again very quiet... just 2 Lesser whitethroats, 2 Whitethroats, 2 Sprawks and a cuckoo.

    Firstreejohn, think I know why your not seeing anything... can only assume this was you out at the "undisclosed location ‘off’ the north coast" today. With your optical equipment in still your bag, you're never gonna find that mega...

    Well, if it hadn't been for the bird up north that's where I was heading today, but i didn't fancy sifting through all the marsh, icterines and various shrike spp. so went north as it happens a little bird (forum) told me that it was covered today (although probably not very well ;) so I might...

    Norfolk Dragon/Damselflies reports/news

    It was just the one I saw, amongst large reds and blue tailed etc at Upton Fen. I thought it might just be a variable but the 'Pi' type marking in the tail is similar to that shown on female dainty in Richard Lewingtons illustrations in Dragons of Britain and Europe.

    Norfolk Dragon/Damselflies reports/news

    Hi Guys Some help with this one, I'm pretty useless with damsels, but the nearest i could get was female dainty damsel coz of the tail pattern - which doesn't occur as far as I know... cheers Dave
