    Lochore Meadows

    It's been almost a year now since we made the big move to Scotland and Fife. We are spoilt for choice for birding, there are so many places to go all within 30 minutes of our house, so much so we neglect our local patch, we have only visited on average once a month! So the aim of this first post...

    BHG at Thornham Marshes 22/11?

    Came across this Black-headed Gull at Thornham Marshes, Norfolk behaving strangely and staying well away from all the winter plumage BHGs. Well I'm sure it's a BHG it can't be anything else, although my sister in law says it doesn't look quite right, just need to settle this as she doesn't...

    Blue Throat? - Agra, India

    I have just returned from India and just have one ID query, this was seen through our fairly dirty hotel window near the Taj Mahal, so the pic isn't great, the blue on the throat has me puzzled, so any help would be gratefully appreciated. It doesn't look quite right for a Blue Throat to me...

    Wader at Titchwell RSPB, Norfolk

    Hi All, hope someone can help me. Spotted these two waders at Titchwell on Saturday and took a quick shot before they flew off. Winter waders always prove difficult for me, but the yellow legs are confusing me even more! So any help would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
