    Bird of Prey Id please in UK

    This bird of prey was at RSPB Sandy in Bedfordshire England last week. Apologies for the quality but there was a heat haze and it was digiscoped from about 250 yards. I have my suspicions about what it is, but can anybody offer a positive ID please.

    I have just come back from Gran Canaria and have taken some photos of a few birds but there is a couple that I am not certain on the ID - particularly the 1st one which gave the impression of being too big for a Whinchat but does look like one - I think the 2nd shot is a possible young red...

    Redstart species

    I saw this Redstart species in a quarry high up in the moors on the pennines yesterday - it had a definite red tail flashing, and I was almost convinced it was a black redstart, not only because of the definite dark grey colouring but also because of its location, there are no woods around for...

    Bird ID please - England

    I saw this bird perched on top of a cliff at Seaham in Co Durham. 1st off I thought it may be a stonechat, but beak seems too long and there is a broad white collar round the neck.
