    Parrot sp - Guyana

    Working through my photos from a trip last November I came across this one. The image doesn't match any of the species in my notes and I can't find anything similar in the Field Guides. Can anyone help? Could it be a juvenile / immature and so look somewhat different from the guide...

    Raptor Guyana

    I'd be interested to know what the forum thinks of this raptor please. Seen at the Abary mangrove trail near Georgetown in November. It was called first as a juvenile zone-tailed hawk, on viewing the back of the camera shots that was amended to probable long-winged harrier but another opinion...

    Complete Long shot - Papua New Guinea seabird

    This is probably an impossible ask but having just had some ancient slides converted to jpeg of a (non-birding, ouch) trip to PNG some 20+ years ago I came across these shots, taken from a small boat off the southern coast of West New Britain. The visit was in March/April. There were definitely...

    Guyana November-December 2014

    Ever fancied a trip to Guyana? I have my name down for a 16/17 day trip to Guyana later this year. However, for reasons incomprehensible to me, it has not reached its minimum number - last year's was over subscribed and I missed out! It is a guided tour, but some of us lone travellers need that...

    Hawk-cuckoo? Kinabatabgan, Sabah, Borneo

    Can't work this one out, thought it was a juvenile hawk-cuckoo, but if so which? Taken from across the river with maximum zoom, so it was way distant and it didn't turn around! I have no other shots. Any help appreciated! Thanks Roberta Edit - title should say Kinabatangan !

I will be spending some time at Fraser's Hill and then plan to go to Taman Negara for my final few days (and I already know that a few days won't be enough, but it's all I will have and it's...

    Rufous cacholote

    While searching through OPUS I noticed that there were no pictures of Rufous (Grey-crested) Cacholote. Are these any use? I'm not really sure of where to put them so thought I'd just upload them here. They were taken at Posada Santa Tereza on the Pixaim River in the Brazilian Pantanal last...

    Corsica - several for help with please

    I think I have these right but would appreciate confirmation (or correction) - seen on the north-west coast of Corsica last week. #1 - I'd assumed buzzard, but I haven't seen one marked quite this 'cleanly' so am not sure now #2 - Looked right for Audouin's to me but I am totally rubbish at...

    Red Crested Pochard?- Glos. UK

    Saw these three today nr Bourton in Gloucestershire. pretty sure that they red-crested pochards, question is are they 'just' red crested pochards, are they hybrids and how unusual are they for this location at this time of year? Sorry about the pics, heavy crop.

    Tobago birds - help please

    These shots were taken some years ago with a film camera and from a trip when I had no field guide (still don't for T&T) I can't get them any clearer than this but any help would be appreciated. I think the hummer in #1 might be a copper-rumped? Of the 2 species of waders in #2, is one...

    Can anyone help me with these please? Seen in Ithala in Natal last month. In very quick succession were cloud, lazy, croaking and neddicky - but notes and pics seem to have gotten out of sequence, and a few weeks later I'm confused again - and these shots might be of something completely...

    Another gull ID - Tasmania

    Seeing as how there seems to be a fashion for juvenile gull questions can I please add mine? Going through photos I came across this fella, taken on a beach just outside Hobart, March 2008 - am I right in thinking it's a juvenile Kelp Gull? Help much appreciated - sorry you can't see any legs!

    Another Panama hummer

    I had this little chap down as a blue chested hummingbird, and had thought to put it on the gallery as there are very few pics of blue chested. Then I saw the picture put up today of a blue chested and doubt set in! So, is it a blue chested or, if not, could it be a violet bellied? Help...

    Hello from Bristol

    Hello everyone. I'm a bit late with my introduction as I leapt straight in to ask for help with an ID ! Have been returning to birding over the last couple of years after far too long an absence. Still very rusty but hope to catch up now that I've found BF!

    Hummingbird - Peru

    Hi everyone. This is my first post but I'm hoping someone can help me with this hummingbird photographed a few years ago on a trip to Peru. It's not the best quality as it was a little way away and this is a digital magnification, but maybe someone will recognise it?
