    Female Vagrant Emperor, Delamere, Cheshire

    Briefly in my garden at lunch time. Showed excellently for around 2 minutes quite high up in a holly tree then flew and got caught by the wind, exiting fast! No water source at all nearby so bolsters a pretty poor garden list of Dragons - also a lifer. Does anyone record for Cheshire? I know...

    Peregrine Assistance Winnington, Cheshire

    I have an office in an old factory site at Winington in Cheshire. For at least 25 years Peregrine have been present and at one point the nesting site was monitored and the young ringed, I don't know if that's still the case. Today I came into work and a male Peregrine was flying around calling...

    Burton Mere Wetlands, Cheshire

    Absolutely blown away by this reserve. It was all new to me. I was a serious twitcher, local patcher and Cheshire birder until around 2003 and then just hung up my bins, with the exception of keeping a garden list. My wife and I thought we'd have a look at BMW on Sunday as it's only 12 miles...

    Silver-washed Fritillary Northwich, Cheshire 8/7/17

    Silver-washed Fritillary, Northwich, Cheshire 8/7/17 Quite a rarity for the county as I recall. One was trapped beneath the perspex roof of the rain shelter in the main square. It was seen very well as it tried to get out and I have a wide experience of all British Butterflies. Went to get my...

    Bee Identification Help

    Hi, We've had a Bees nest in the North eaves for years now and I assume they're honey Bees? This year, in the south eaves we have the second image nesting in quite large numbers? They're no problem at all and never get into the house unlike the Wasps on the east side which are a massive pain -...

    ID Help - South America?

    Firstly, yes I know it's dead and stuffed and that's baaaaad. In my defence it was mounted ca 1885 so it wasn't me that did the poor thing in. Any ideas on the Yellow and blue one, I'm assuming the green one is the female and the balding black one is presumeably a Red-headed Mannakin? Any help...

    London Polecat

    Working my way through the car park that is the M1 widening scheme just north of London this afternoon I saw a freshly dead Polecat at the side of the "fast" lane. Are they known from this area? In the brief view I had it did look quite bulky so may well have been a Ferret but thought someone...

    Day flying Bat id - N.Wales (Photos)

    Hi, Around 15.45 this afternoon in bright sunshine a bat sp was actively feeding for around 10 minutes along a wooded lane around 300 yards inland from the coast at Llandulas, North Wales. Didn't have my Bat detector with me and could only get a few rubbish shots - any ideas. It seemed way to...
