    Egg Thief

    i think six months sends NO message out to anyone. I suppose we should just be thankful he wasn't caught up here in scotland. least he is doing a bit on time. is there really an answer to this problem?

    swallows martins and swifts.

    we've still got quite a few swallows up here in aberdeen but like pajarero not too many house and sand martains left. i have not seen any swifts for a bit. the dark evenings seen to be coming quicker this year. still think of all the good birds that will soon be flying back to the uk for the...

    Pocket guides

    yep this new Mitchell Beasley book has grow on me. it sure is light to carry, with a good few drawings of each bird but on the downside it does not give the size of the birds nor location maps. which to someone new to birdwatching like myself is not too good. i've just wrote the sizes next to...

    Lesser black-backed gull?

    thanks for the reply Colin. the wings did look very dark and it was quite hard to tell any difference to the great black-backs that were quite close to it. i'm pretty new to birdwatching so i could not say for sure. all quite interesting though :)

    Lesser black-backed gull?

    i was out for a walk at the sea yesterday (NE scotland , just above aberdeen) and saw what i think was a Lesser black-backed gull. it had very yellow feet and was about the right size compared to all the herring gulls and the odd great black-backed gull around it. But it's wings were as black...

    What is your favourite bird.... and why?

    it's tricky to pick just one favourite. so here's my top two, though it changes all the time. Water Rail - such loud noises from such a little bird. nice colours and great walk. Fulmar- love to watch them fly plus the chicks are great, big ball of fluff with a little head stuck on top :)
