    Moth from Spain to ID, please!

    Hi, Moth lovers!!! :hi: Do you know what this beauty is? It's from Spain but probably it's something very common and widespread present in Britain as well. If not, a hint of any kind would be welcome: family, possible genus... I simply have no idea about Moths and I don't know where to start to...

    Island/Uniform Swiflet

    Hi, Mods!!! :hi: I have no time for research but I've found this not linked to Opus http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=334322 I thought the "Collocalia vanikorensis" was Uniform Swiftlet, but maybe I'm not updated if had been any taxonmy change. Anyway, I leave this "hint"...

    Spider from UK to ID, please!

    Hi, Spider lovers! :hi: Here I have a Spider photographed inside a hide in Old Moor RSPB (I think that's N Nottinghamshire) last August. I have the feeling it's something very common, even I've seen it before, but I have no idea what it is. Would be great for me to know this Spider and take it...

    Another Spanish Wolf Spider to ID, please!

    Well, here I am again with more frightening stuff!!! |=)| This is another Wolf Spider, smaller than the other I posted last week. This is from Abril, taken in C Spain, South of Madrid. This is the only sharp pic I have, other views I took are out of focus! :storm: I had a try at ID it myself...

    Red Spanish Spider for ID, please!

    Well, I continue with this "colourful" series! |=)| I have the feeling this will be easy. This cracker was found again the previous weekend, in C Spain, in a flowery meadow by a track. I managed two views, taken with different cameras. I'm learning more about Spiders in two weeks than in the...

    Spanish Wolf Spider to ID, please!

    Well, I'm assuming this is a Wolf Spider but I might be completely wrong! Again from C Spain, last weekend, in a Canyon on sandy ground surrounded by Pine Trees. Second pic is bad but it's the only side view I managed, it was late in the evening, very low light and quite distant. For the first...

    Yellow-vented Warbler

    I suspect this can be new for Opus, Yellow-vented Warbler (Phylloscopus cantator) http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=316596 In any case, it lacks the Scientific name, which I think should be added. I leave for the more experienced with this type of Warblers all kind of...

    New upload of Yellow-bellied Eremomela

    Hi, Mods! :hi: I've found in the gallery a new upload of the Yellow-bellied Eremomela (Eremomela icteropygialis) and it seems to be only the second picture of one in the gallery. It shows the features better than the old pic, so I'm just pointing at this just in case it's worthy updating Opus...

    Green Spanish Spider to ID, please

    Hi all again!!! :hi: Second episode in this "fascinating series" of Spanish Spiders! :-O This little soul was photographed near my home, in a flowery field at the end of May. It was a dismal cloudy day, so the light was very poor and the shots too noisy. But I think the features can be well...

    Elegant Tit

    Sorry, Mods! I added a post in a different section: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=99100&page=14 because after some research I concluded the Elegant Tit (Periparus elegans) will be new for Opus, but probably it was here where I should have add it. It seems there are two areas to...

    Possible error in Opus?

    Hi, Mods! There is a pic of a White-browed Wagtail in the gallery that made me try to find it in Opus... and I saw a mess. There are only 7 pics of this bird in the gallery, as far as I know, but many of them don't have the Scientific Name attached (so they don't link to Opus) or it is wrongly...

    Marian's 2009 bird-list - Birds from Spain

    Hi, folks! :hi: I had given up the idea of keeping a thread with my year list in 2009, as I knew I was going to do little birdwatching this year for different personal reasons. But as I seem to be unable to keep track of what I see during the year if I don't build up a thread, and I've done it...
