    Black-winged Cuckooshrike? Hebei

    Pretty sure on this one, just confirmation really. Found recently in a city park, Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

    Kestrels and near UV vision

    Apologies if this has already been covered, but I didn't see a recent post on the topic... I'm curious about the link between kestrels and the ability to see in 'near UV', that was established in a study published in Nature back in the 90's, and which was further supported by Zampiga et al in...

    Lesser Grey Shrike

    A belated and unconfirmed report of a LGS along the trail near Teversal on the 26th. Anyone know anymore?

    Honey Fungus?

    Can I get a confirmation that this is the dreaded honey fungus (picture attached)? It has bloomed on a dead birch in my garden, so I guessing it's probably what killed the tree. Only moved in this year so it won't be a happy discovery, especially with six other birch heaving with Goldfinch right...

    Wow, Rutland Water

    I don't usually post in this forum, but I had to express just what an amazing day I had at Rutland this weekend. Hadn't realised that Lagoon B was now open, so that was the first surprise. If you haven't been yet, it's near as damnit ideal for any number of waders, plus even closer views of...

    ID - Norfolk Hawker?

    Found in the dunes at Holkham among the Dark Green Fritillaries. Can you folks tell me, is it a Norfolk Hawker?

    ID - Snettisham

    So folks, anybody able to ID this small orange fella I snapped at Snettisham last week? A good rummage through my general wildlife books has failed me. Normally I'm all about the birds but I have to say discovering my first White Admirals and Dark Green Fritillaries during a week in Norfolk...

    Funny Warbler, Notts

    Found an odd looking warbler at Brierley Forest Park this morning. Too large for a Chiffchaff, seeing it land in the corner of my eye I initially assumed it would be one of the House Sparrows calling nearby, so that big. It had a faded eye-stripe, pale throat contrasting with slightly buff...

    Snettisham Skua

    Early morning yesterday at Snettisham I took this underwhelming quick snapshot of the scene, and on arriving home notice a skua I failed to note while I was fiddling with my camera in the wind. So a fluke photograph and nothing but. Now I'm not so hot on skuas, but considering the pom movement...

    Rutland Water in Autumn

    Had a prolonged visit yesterday. My pick-up called ahead to say she would an hour late, so I was trudging around the Egleton reserve after dark, hence the owls I heard. Not a bad day list, apparently there were Ringed Plover about that I missed and I saw no Marsh/Willow Tit. Bird of the day for...

    Snettisham - when to go?

    Hi folks, A little advice please. I'm keen to get the girlfriend out to see something spectacular in November so we're aiming for a high tide at Snettisham. That means picking either the 2nd or 3rd weekend of the month. Having never been myself and not knowing a great deal about the site, I...

    Hi Folks

    Hello all, Twenty-something birder in Notts joining the crew. I've tried a few less populated wildlife forums and found them decidedly cliquish, so I'm hoping the massed ranks here aren't quite so hierarchical about its in-crowd. God knows it can feel isolating enough being a birder under the...
