    Hope not teaching people to suck eggs but FYI for iPhone users the latest software iOS 17.0 identifies most birds, insects, fungi, butterflies, flowers, dragonflies et al from your photos. Use the i button on the bottom of each photo. It seems to work well in the UK although US centric with...

    Hard with pictures but could imagine that the cap there is pale blue with a black bandit mask which would indicate an adult male Red-Backed Shrike. However I would phone a friend! Also I think they are a scarce bird on the island. Mike might be able to help on the record status of this species.

    Having returned to the UK after a throughly enjoyable trip to the island last week, I noticed that 4 lesser flamingos had been seen near Huelva, Andalusia, Spain yesterday. They have been recorded in Italy and mainland Spain before. Confession and guilt time in that I did not check for this...

    Arrived on Saturday and the birding excellent as always. Today started early doors at Talaia D’Albercutx. looking for Balearic Warbler. Surprised as 4 Marsh Harrier went north b4 sun up. Nice views of the warbler were followed by 2 Tawny Pipits dropping close by onto the roadside gravel. Tried...

    Looking forward to some birding on the island in a few week’s time. Last year I was fortunate to find 3 slender-billed gulls on the Albufereta. However, apart from putting the finding on this forum, I was unsure how to put the news out. On the Scillies there is a chap called Kris Webb (Spider)...
