    Cotingas and Manakins

    Got my copy of Cotingas and Manakins (A&C Black) yesterday. Excellent book. Plates, photos & text of some of the tastiest Neotropical birds. Highly recommended.

    Rare birds where & when

    Just noticed that RBW&W is reduced to £25 (post free). Anyone yet to buy this book is missing a treat. Hopefully a surge in sales might get him to hurry up and get volume 2 out! http://www.rarebirdbooks.co.uk/

    presumed hybrid Red-crested Pochard x Tufted Duck

    This hybrid duck had a passing resemblance to Redhead, so some of you may be interested to see. There are more pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/4533489166 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/4532855737 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/4533490408...

    Can anyone help me put a name to this bat? It was roosting in a riverside open-walled roof. Rio Napo, Ecuador. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/3297052295/ Thanks, John

    Hi Anyone clued up on caecilians? My first ever, and trodden on minutes before I got there so dead/dying. I would loved to have seen it move... Any ideas for an ID? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/3322151047/ Thanks John

    Ecuador butterflies

    Inspired by Mark Caunt's threads, I wondered if I might get some expert help for some Ecuador butterflies (from the west slope): http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/3316399042/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/3315570613/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjbirder/3315571175/ Cheers John

    Gull in Madeira: presumed very pale atlantis

    I think this is 'just' a very pale atlantis Yellow-legged Gull, but it stood out from the crowd. I thought some of the gullophiles might like a look. Any comments?

    40d

    Assuming this is what the 40D turns out to be when announced officially – and it is often the Canon way to leak details then back off – it looks to be a significant upgrade to the 30D. http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/digital/canon_eos_40D.html

    Canadian pelagics

    I posted this in the Canada info section and go no response, so I'm giving it a try here in case the seabirders can help. Are there any bird-orientated pelagic trips from Vancouver or elsewhere in that part of Canada? If not, would a visitor see much in the way of seabirds from whale watching...

    Spiderlings in York

    In my arboretum (pots of mostly native trees in a tiny yard in York) I have a yew in which I found a nest of spiderlings. I wonder if anyone can tell me what they are? I've never seen an adult spider with their yellow and black coloration so I'm guessing they change colour as they grow, is that...

    Large one from Honduras

    Hi Can anyone tell me what this is? Quite common in much of Honduras (colour varied between sites, but pattern similar), large and seemingly territorial (appeared to be fighting with others of the same species). Thanks John

    Turtle, Honduras

    Any suggestions for these turtles from the Olancho region of Honduras? It was an isolated pool in a dry area. Heavy crops, so apologies for the poor quality. Thanks

    There are two photos of a Flappet Lark (Mirafra rufocinnamomea pintoi) in the ID Q&A forum, under the title "Kruger NP, South Africa, pipit ID" (yeah, I know, pipit should=lark). You may want to add to database (don't think it's there yet). First photo is by Norma Jackson and second by Chris...

    Kruger NP, South Africa, pipit ID

    I'm trying to ID this pipit from South Africa for a friend. It was taken in the south of Kruger a couple of weeks ago. I favour Short-tailed Pipit, but don't know my birds from that area well enough to be sure. This is the only pic. Any suggestions?

    National News

    You go out birding in southern England in August and see, say, a Greenshank or a Wheatear or two. Do you think this is such a remarkable sighting that everyone will be interested so you must put the birds out as national news on a bird information service? If so, why?

    Worst country bird list

    What country have you visited and yet seen fewest bird species? I have spent a total of six hours in the United States, all in transit at Houston. I spent most of that time enjoying the hospitality of the US immigration service, but out of the window I saw three species: Black Vulture...
