    Original Tim Wootton, anyone?

    Hi, fellow bird art lovers! I know this is not the 'for sale' forum, so I won't go into details, but I have two original Tim Wootton water colours for sale. I've posted a message on the appropriate forum: https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=367461 It's a shame they are gathering dust...

    Chiffchaff song UK - Tristis?

    Thanks both! However, the plot thickens. This image shows the bird. It was taken by another birder who was there when I discovered the bird. He kindly emailed me the picture later in the day. The problem is: it shows a much greener bird than how I remember it... Some of the green is the result...

    Chiffchaff song UK - Tristis?

    Hi all, I recorded this Chiffchaff on my local patch in York this morning. Sounds good for Siberian Chiffchaff (Tristis)? Notably the bird was rather greyish on top and white underneath, with pitch black legs. But these Chiffchaffs are tricky! Any opinions appreciated. Thanks, Jan

    Just Bewick's Swans? - Boyton, Suffolk

    Is it me, or is the bird in the first photo ringed?

    Unknown Bird (species ?)

    Hi Ed, As a Dutch national dwelling on the British Isles I don't know if I am allowed to respond... your anti-island attitude puzzles me just as much as your description of the bird. However, your last photograph definitely shows a Common Whitetroat (or 'Grass Sparrow' as you call them!)...

    Butea butea?

    Butea Butea has orange flowers. I can't see any. Perhaps this is a Buteo Buteo? :-)

    Archibald Thorburn prints

    Hello fellow bird art lovers, I recently managed to buy two rare signed Archibald Thorburn prints, but I have no place for them in the house at the moment. Because they are quite valuable I've offered them for sale on the classifieds forum of this website. Just lowered the price. Anyone...

    Durham Birding

    It must be on it's holidays! Oosterpark is a typical urban park, full of feral pigeons and 'soep eenden' ('soup ducks', as we Dutch birders call them).

    Durham Birding

    And rightly so! I thought this was a forum about birds in Durham... Thanks to whoever deleted all that silly b*tching.

    Strange gull

    Have you got any pictures with more than one bird in view? For size comparison?

    Durham Birding

    I agree! I love the picture, but somehow the Spoonbil looks like a miniature bird. Is the size of the rainrops and weeds in the background distorted by the tele photo perspective? If the weeds weren't yellow I would have thought they were trees! Nevertheless an excellent picture.
