    County Louth (formerly Dundalk Bay) local patch.

    I saw my first Swifts (about 5) yesterday evening over Buttercrane Shopping Centre around 7.30pm and I also saw my first Swallows flying low over Clanrye River about one week past.

    County Louth (formerly Dundalk Bay) local patch.

    I saw about 7 or 8 juvenile starlings together and one sparrow juvenile today for first time this year. Photos are taken in the rain from patio door. I noticed this few weeks an adult starling is screaming a racket on fence for at least 30 minutes if I go near the bottom of garden. He even...

    County Louth (formerly Dundalk Bay) local patch.

    I think I need to describe it better which might help .... it was in tree along the ditch with about three branches close together or crossing all curved in a way which created a neat hollow in branches but it was not actually a hollow in the trunk of tree. Sorry if I caused confusion and it was...

    Thanks and stock doves sound more likely as plenty about the woods. The nest was a bit slapdash and slanted and could easily see the egg from the road below but still high up. Wherever I was reading just mentioned kingfishers and barn owls for white egg, a neighbour who walks dogs late evenings...

    I saw 2 swifts over my garden monday evening, decided I would like to see them in broad daylight. Indeed I was correct as today I saw 2 definite swifts constantly back and forth over Meadow whilst walking to B&Q. I saw 7 Buzzards soaring together, couldnt believe my eyes at first until I was...

    I saw my first swallow on sunday evening flying lowish over my garden which is rather late for this year I thought.

    Surrey Birding

    sighting of a large fabulous owl at Redhill station I saw a fabulous large Owl very clearly as the train was just beginning to leave Redhill station this morning on route to Gatwick airport. It was just sitting on a post or something and I saw it sideways first with dark ears noticeable. Then...

    I had one redpoll back on my niger feeder on 14 october after no sign of them since august until yesterday when I had three red chested redpolls feeding for a while plus fighting with my heaps of Goldfinches. I take it winter is on its way and will have to put my second smaller niger feeder in...

    I also noticed the lovely Grey wagtails frequently seen down along Tow path can now be seen flitting across the canal at bus station right in the town also.

    Also saw plenty of swifts over my house and this area this evening and was watching swifts over canal and Clanrye river earlier today also. Plenty of swallows and house martins about too.

    County Louth (formerly Dundalk Bay) local patch.

    Thank you and actually here is a photo of some type of duck in Guilford South England that reminded me a little of it and couldnt find a proper name for these ones either. The one in Newry beside the bus station is still there last week as saw it emerging from mud hole in the bank with second...

    Beautiful large Mistle thrush in my garden looking around so winter is definitely here and redpoll numbers increasing.

    I just saw a lovely male Bramling at feeding tray, first male for this winter.

    The lovely large black and white duck is there all summer and couple more different ducks I am not too sure what they are as well. I think it was two fellas from the garage opposite that were feeding them and they all appeared out of nowhere for the food or were waiting for it.

    I think my little Redpolls who are just beginning to return to nyger feeder will not be amused at all at this fella on it and he stayed ages on it feeding. I had one in the summer watching a seed feeder repeatedly whilst walking back and forth near it. I also watched another one on top of a bird...

    Yellowhammer or Linnet ? Sweden

    I think the black pattern on upper chest joining the lines is very Linnet like also as juvenile greenfinches show black flecks with no noticeable joining of flecks. Also think the very flat head big eyed look of Linnets is here also, juvenile greenfinches are not so so flat headed, more short...

    Thanks, yes I think Buzzards now too and think its the end of the Buzzard sounds drawn out that Im hearing being carried far down to here and perhaps echoing a little or both adults calling. Its a nice eerie sound. I never noticed the smaller one being very white so must be the light. I saw ants...

    Maybe they are Buzzards as just noticing Steves photo but didnt think they sounded like Buzzards though.

    Not great pictures of birds of prey that I think are Red Kites again over my house, actually three and one a juvenile as smaller. I love the very high pitched nice haunting sounds they make, you actually hear them before you notice them. They were much lower but moved by time I got camera...

    I finally saw 2 juvenile Blue Tits in my garden feeding on peanuts couple days ago plus saw more in woods. They seemed to be late with their juveniles this year. I had a very early Robin juvenile but found 2 pale blue empty shells (believe Robins) in my garden dropped weeks past so perhaps only...

    There are three Red Kites soaring over my house presently. I heard very high unusual sounds, then saw them and went to check sound of both Buzzard and Red Kite and pretty certain Red Kite sounds (also from the shape of them.) I saw one flying regularly over here this couple of weeks, then saw...
