This bird forum is so dead. Not even a mention of the MEGA Baikal teal at March Farmers yesterday evening.

Many thanks and yes I agree....Stop Brexit ��

Do we tick this as an Iceland gull? Saw my first today in Suffolk.

It’s ok, found the duck. Stunning thing.

Could anyone PM me or give directions for Ferruginous duck. Cannot find a Laundry lane or partially tarmac’d road. Thanks, Matty

Do we know if people are ticking this bird?

Many thanks. Never seen them.

Can anybody tell me where to find these? Kew gardens maybe? Any info would be appreciated.

Saw my first Stone Curlews and my first rough legged buzzard. 2 life ticks for me and an amazing warm day too.

Many thanks James, that's a nice thing to say.

Thanks for the info Jane :t:

Just to confirm it's not me claiming it, just going by the local grapevine but am grateful for the help on here from the bird forum members. Cheers guys and gals. Matt

Damn it yes that was the bird, glad I held off ticking it in my funny book. Surprised bird guides put it on if there was a doubt. Ah well, back to the drawing board. Thank god I was only 15 mins away, would have hated some birders to have travelled down any distance. Thanks for clarifying. Matt...

No Jane it's a spotted sandpiper. A friend of mine and another birder got permission to enter the dock and got pictures and id conformation. See bird guides Suffolk for photos. I thank you.

Great to have the Spotted Sandpiper confirmed yesterday. Managed to see it briefly at Landguard viewpoint but vanished soon after. A fantastic bird for Suffolk that's for sure.

I used my Swarovski ATX 95 with DCB I I adapter. The camera was at its widest angle and the Swarovski was zoomed around halfway. Matt

Just back from Bempton/Flamborough and quite pleased with the Sony RX for video scoping. These 2 Fulmars were filmed admittedly not doing much but when the Fulmar yawns you can actually see the warm breath from its beak opening. Best viewed in 720 HD. No video editing, just raw footage. Thanks...

Can you just confirm these 2 are common Eider. Seen 2 days ago at Flamborough head. Sorry about the quality of the photos. Thanks, Matt

Am using a Swarovski ATX 95 with DCB mk 2 on a Manfrotto fluid head. I will soon be getting a Sony RX100 and would like to know if this setup will be tail heavy and require a balance rail. Thanks, Matt
