    Goldcrest? - South Island, New Zealand

    Do you get Goldcrest's in New Zealand. I know there have been many European birds that were introduced. I saw a group of birds similar in size and behaviour in one of the parks but now think they might have been something else. Any ideas?

    Eagle Sp - Denver Airport, Colorado

    I was wondering what the most likely Eagle species would be around Denver International airport. The bird I saw was significant in size, similar to say a Golden Eagle in the UK. I didn't have any optics with me but it was clear to see the 'fingered' up-turned wings. This didn't strike me as...

    Rough Legged Hawk or Buzzard

    Hi guys - how would you separate a Rough Legged Buzzard from a Rough Legged Hawk? Is there any different and are these birds classed as different races of each other? Interest comes from a recent sighting on the west coast of England. Could this be a trans-atlantic vagrant? There has been...

    Is Church wood any good for Nightingales? Or anywhere else perhaps along the M40 corridor? Went to Highnam Woods last year but there were quite a few 'strange' people sat in the car park and it's a bit off putting not knowing what you may stumble across there!

    Tick or No Tick!

    Out of interest what are people's views on counting birds that you've heard and not seen. Would it be acceptable on a Life \ Year \ Local patch list? I know birds heard count in a bird race. Birds such as Quail, Corncrake and Nightingale are usually difficult to actually see but often heard...
