    UK Gull ID

    I'm OK on the second bird but any ideas on the Gull - not very good with these - especially from this angle. This is on Mull - there were Common, Herring, Greater Black Backed around (and probably more).

    Redwing? - UK

    Hi, I think these are Redwing? I have quite a few of these birds flying around in the woods behind the flat this morning feeding off berries. They are moving about with some perching up in the higher branches for a bit. This is in Middx. Could only manage this dodgy photo.

    Green Woodpecker - UK

    Hi, I am sure it is a Green Woodpecker, but I am wondering is it a juvenile due to the spots? Taken in my garden on Sunday enjoying the sunshine, have not seen one in the garden before but I have seen them on my local reserve about 5 miles away. If this is a juvenile would they have been...

    Marsh Harrier & Coot

    Hey guys, Saw this Harrier attacking the Coot at Dungeness this weekend. My book says they take prey up to the size of ducks and coots but this seems quite large compared to the Harrier? I was wondering how often, and how successfully, they would hunt prey this large? The Harrier took a few...

    Not happy, new scope broken already!

    I bought a GS 665 GA / 45 Fieldscope along with a 40918S IS eyepiece today and whilst using it this evening there was a breaking noise whilst turning the focus wheel and the sound of a loose part falling inside the scope. The loose part is now rattling around in the scope and the close focus...

    Bat found, did we do the right thing?

    Hi Guys, We came across a tiny bat (was about as long as my thumb) in a large cardboard box amongst some (of all things) soft toys in plastic wrapping. This was in our scout hut which is used twice a week and the box was left from the weekend, so would have been undisturbed for about 4-5 days...

    Who lives in a house like this?

    Hi all, wasnt sure where best to post but I came across this box at a local reserve the other day and was wondering what might live in it? It is quite large, unfortunately this is on the other side of a river so I couldn't get a look at the front of it.
