    Western Olivaceous Warbler - status in southern France

    Hi there - not sure what forum this should go in. I was recently (last week) in the Langudoc-Rousillon area of southern France. While there I found - in two separate areas - birds which looked like and sounded like Western Olivaceous Warbler (I'll admit my knowledge of the species is limited). I...

    urban/casual birding in Singapore

    Hi there - Hope someone can help me here. I'm due for a two day stop over in Singapore on the way to Australia in early April. I've got a young family and time is short (may be jet lag issues etc) so can't do any serious birding, and I'm completely unfamiliar with the avi-fanua of that area...

    What happened to southern grey shrike?!

    Hello. Recently in Tenerife I saw a shrike which I assumed was southern grey shrike, split from great grey. However, on recieving my copy of the new edition of Collins Bird Guide, it seems that the Canaries ssp has been put back into great grey and the Spanish birds are now a seperate species...

    Parrots on Tenerife

    British List predictions for 2009

    It's nearly that time of year... anyone got any UK list predictions for next year. How about the first Great Black Headed Gull since, I think, the 30s? Anyone care to predict any firsts?

    Increasing lesser scaup records in the UK

    I recently saw the longish staying lesser scaup which has been hanging around now at Hogganfield Loch in Glasgow for about a month. It's an adult drake, and relatively easy to pick out, and this got me to thinking - given that LS is a fairlyre cent addition to the British list, and given its...

    Ruby Crowned Kinglet records in Scotland

    Hello. I joined this forum because there are all sorts of annoying bird-related questions that pop into my head occasionally, and since I know no-one suitable bird-minded (I know a few bird-brained though), I have no-one to direct them to. Therefore, I hope you won't mind if I share a few with...

    Greetings from Glasgow

    Hello everyone - it's my first time on here. Though I've been birding on and off for about 20 years, I regard myself as probably the most inept birder on the planet. Oh, how I would love to discuss the shadings of gull primaries or whathaveyou, but the truth is I've never even seen a knot. The...
