    Just back from a fantastic visit to SE Arizona covering the 'usual' sites in the Sierra Vista, Green Valley, Tuscon and Portal areas with a short hop up to the Grand Canyon at the end. Finished the trip with a respectable total of 185 species, higher that I was expecting. Highlights were red...

    Duck sp @ RSPB Titchwell

    I initially identified this bird distantly on a WeBS count a couple of weeks ago as a garganey. The bird was feeding with teal before moving behind an island and I didn't see it again. The bird was slightly larger than the teal and the pale loral spot was very obvious at distance. The bird has...

    Can anyone help This little egret was reported from Snettisham RSPB reserve last November. The combination was reported as 'red on the left leg and green with a F on the right leg'. I have had a look on CR birding and can't seem to match the combination. Any ideas? Thanks Paul

    Hello Colorado birders/ringers, I am visiting Colorado in late May/early June on a birding trip and I would like to find out if there are any places where ringing takes place. I am a ringer here in the UK and it would be great to get some experience from the States. I already have a birding...

    Aytha hybrid?

    Does anyone have an opinion on this bird. It was first seen at Titchwell RSPB at the weekend and reported as a tufty x ring necked hybrid and I saw the bird for the first time today. Although it is clearly not an adult tufty I am not sure why it isn't just a 1st winter drake? I know that there...

    Skua sp

    Can anyone help with the ID of this skua seen on the beach at Titchwell RSPB reserve today? There was some debate as to its ID with arctic and pom being the suggestions. The bird was very 'light and agile' in flight and looked to have very small head and beak almost recalling a common gull...
