    What was your Spark Bird???

    During a period of unemployment I began to take walks around the local fields to relieve the boredom of not working, one morning a Curlew flew over calling, I can still hear it now, that Curlew calling re-ignited my love of birding.

    little owls

    I made the same point on here several years ago about the decline of the little owl population, at the time nobody else seemed to see any problem, the little owls here went from 4 breeding pairs all within walking distance to none 2 years ago. At first I thought it was due to the increase in...

    Crabs on Isla Canela, South Spain

    I'm not sure of the correct name for them but I think they're Fiddler Crabs they have one big front claw instead of 2 like normal crabs. I saw 100s when I was there a couple of years ago.

    natural england grant brood management license

    This whole scheme stinks! Natural England should be used for using the word "Natural" what's natural about removing wild birds from the nest and relocating them elsewhere?

    Android BirdGuides App not working

    I tried resetting my password and various other things with the same result, I got so frustrated with it that I gave up! I remember when a phone call was all it took to get the latest sightings and trying to scribble them down before the message ended lol

    What Grouse...? Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve, Lunt, near Crosby UK

    There are no grouse at Lunt only Partridge and pheasant, probably the nearest place to Lunt for grouse would be the West Lancashire moors.

    Removing roof: looking to prevent house sparrows

    I think the only temporary solution is to block off as many holes as you can, I wouldn't use expanding foam though as this can lift your roof tiles.

    Firecrests help, Lancs

    At what age do Firecrests attain their adult plumage? I ask because I believe I saw a firecrest today in immature plumage as in figure 9 page 1343 BWP is this possible?

    We stayed on the 4th floor of the hotel overlooking the marsh so could birdwatch from the balcony which was ideal! I couldn't fault the Iberostar and would certainly go back there again. There was one weird thing about the marshes that I noticed this is the first wetland I've visited where I...
