    Bongofury's 5 Miles From Home List 2022

    After reaching my highest ever yearlist in 2021 of 182, I'm getting on board with #LocalBigYear in 2022. So my yearlist will be birds heard or seen within 5 miles of home. I suspect that means I'll be at Baron's Haugh a lot, which might get boring, so we'll see how it goes. 1.1.2022 Garden 1...

    Compact Binoculars. Which Pair for Under £50?

    What with my birthday looming and no doubt the inevitable questions as what to get me, now might be a good time to look at cheapish compact bins. They would be used as a pair to put in my work bag for lunchtime walks in parks & by rivers so would need to be reasonably light and compact...

    Singing Eurasian Wren in Winter

    For the last few mornings, a Wren has been singing at my local railway station in the dark at around 7.30am. I know Robins sing all year round, but I've not heard of Wrens doing so. I've tried Googling it but I just get hits on 'Winter Wren'.

    Stock Dove? UK

    In an urban riverside walkway in Glasgow today I saw a blue-grey 'pigeon' fly away from me with almost matching colour rump and no white wing bars. I relocated it in a tree, high up, but could only view from underneath. It was showing a wide black band at the bottom underside of the tail. A...

    Jackdaw / Corvid, UK

    Taken at the weekend in Somerset, UK. Not my photo but I've been asked to ID it. My guess was Jackdaw based on size. Any thoughts?

    Filey Area Advice Please

    I'm heading to the Blue Dolphin caravan site in a week for a family holiday. Assuming I get some birding time, which is never taken for granted, what would be the most fruitful site? I'm guessing Flamborough, but where specifically? Is there a hide, key bushy areas or just seawatching? Ideally...

    Skua, Hound Point, Uk

    Firstly, I have no experience of Skuas, until today. Looking across the Forth estuary from Hound Point I noticed 3 birds loosely together, all appearing similar. They were moving west and high, climbing as they went, but were very distant. In fact so far that they were barely visible to the...

    Shrew (Dead) UK?

    No experience with rodents at all, but going by the other similar thread, this looks good for an (ex-)Shrew.

    Curlew Sandpipers, Musselburgh, UK

    Struggled with this due to the size and bill matching the Dunlins and lack of supercilium. There was at least 3 of these birds there, associating with Dunlins.

    Bird sp (UK) - Suggestions Only

    I'm more intrigued by this than anything else and don't hold out much hope of an ID, but if you fancy a punt, please give it a go. Otherwise, don't waste your time! Medium - large sized bird passing overhead this evening. I was drawn to it by its single note call, perhaps like a Curlew or...

    Blackcaps 'Running'

    This morning I was at RSPB Baron's Haugh and saw a pair of Blackcaps circling me. They were moving between the tops of low scrub (under tall horse chestnut trees) and the ground, but not always close to each other. When on the ground they were running along with their wings partly open, as if in...

    Replacement Celestron Eyepiece Cap

    I've looked online, but with little success, for a replacement eyepiece cap for a Celestron Ultima 80 scope. Could anyone suggest where I could get one please?
