    October in the Julian Alps at Kranjska Gora, Slovenia

    The “hardest winter birding in Europe” claimed the Punks (http://www.surfbirds.com/trip_report.php?id=606); sounds fun! My job takes my abroad on a not infrequent basis, but rarely to places where I can fit some birding in, so it was a result to be asked to join a meeting in Slovenia on a...

    Large Falcon ID

    Large Falcon ID - UK This Peregrine-type falcon was picked up injured in the wild in Bucks, and is currently being nursed back to health. There's a bit of discussion as to whether it's a young female Peregrine, or a hybrid (possibly involving Saker). Any views? BT

Can anyone provide any...

    Presumed male Black Redstart and Common Redstart hybrid in Spain

    During the Christmas period my father showed me a number of his recent photos, including the attached two of a redstart sp. Both photos were taken in southern Spain in February 2007. Neither photo has been edited, other than reducing the size of the image. My belief is that it is a male Black...

    ***Calling all North American Gull experts...

    ...maybe you could give an opinion on an interesting 1st-winter Gull we've got in Oxfordshire, UK at the moment? It's either a very dark Kumlien's or a Thayers (which would be a first for Britian, although there are accepted records from Ireland). Details of the bird, and links to photos, can...

    Potential neumanni Spotted Flycatcher in the UK

    Which Camcorder?

    Hi All, I want to get a Camcorder for birding use. I'd be really grateful if anyone could let me know which the current best camcorders to use are? I'd seen the Sony DCR-PC330 (which looks like the replacement for the PC120??), but am I missing anything? Also, which set-up would people...
