    Lancashire Kite

    Thought so but always pays to be sure. Turns out it had been seen 2 hours earlier also as a brief fly over. Thanks Alban

    Lancashire Kite

    Seen flying over Brockholes this afternoon. Would have presumed Red but with this morning's sightings and a distinct lack of red [even with the sun on the tail] on this bird with, seemingly, small white underwing patches, my mind did think of Black. Any comments? Alban

    Green Woodpecker

    Iberian Green Woodpecker Saw several some years ago in an area of wooded heath on the edge of Salou. Certainly not the dense woodland referred to above. PM me if you want details [I'm not expecting to be inundated!] Alban

    Ditto redshank. Love the way you just dismiss the Marsh Sand and concentrate on the shanks! Alban

    Film of the Imperial Woodpecker...1950s.

    Imperial Woodpecker footage A fantastic record, but terribly sad. Had never even heard of them before seeing this. Alban

    Which bird is this? (County Durham, UK)

    Looks like a domestic pigeon to me. Possibly a fancy breed. Alban

    End of Spring for Rarities in Britain and Ireland

    Not sure you can tempt fate every migration period Alan! We've just had Spotted Sand so things are still moving in Lancs, although we're always a little slow compared to the rest of the country! Cheers Alban

    Disney Thrush

    If I'd known I'd have got the camera out. If anyone passes through it is behind the queue for the Tomorrowland Speedway. In the trees behind the bridge across the course. I did see the bird about 5-6 times in about 30 mins, each time carrying nesting material. Oh well, I'll probably never...

    Disney Thrush

    Thanks guys. Definitely a thrush. I had seen Hermit Thrush in Central Park a few days earlier [10th April] and again later in Boston 22nd. The Disney bird was on the 14th. I have seen Wood Thrush passing through Florida in the past. Light speckling basically means typical small thrush - my...

    Disney Thrush

    Went to Florida in April. As well as the usual birding [Crested Caracara, Snail Kite, Magnificent Frigatebird, Florida Scrub Jay etc], also did a bit of Disney. Saw a small thrush carrying nesting material repeatedly over about a 40 minute period whilst in a queue [for once didn't try getting...

    Lancashire Birding

    Spotted Sandpiper reported at Brockholes. No 1 Pit. Birders asked to use Reserve Car Park. This'll be a good test! Alban

    Lancashire Birding

    Brockholes There's a lot of negativity around about Brockholes and I think it is unfair. If anyone has met the warden you would realise the level of commitment she has put into the project. Also there seems little weight given to the fact that the habitat has largely been created as a result...

    The one that got away.

    Slightly different spin on this one. The Burnley YB Warbler [yes there are some of us for which this would still be a tick!] earlier this month had been showing well for a few days, but I'd been too busy at work to get over. It was still reported at about 2.30 in the afternoon and I managed to...

    Two Caterpillars for ID

    I attach two photos of, I presume, moth caterpillars for which I have no idea of the species. The first was found in a garden on a stone wall next to a copper beech tree in Staveley in the Lake District in September 2007 [I've only just re-found the image!]. The second was at Brockholes Nature...

    Birds in Cap Salou

    Possible Caspian Thanks - I was on a boat trip from where the ferry crosses to Illa de Buda, down to the river mouth and back. The tern was stood, with gulls, on the spit across the mouth of the river - essentially the last landfall before the open sea. Alban
