    Eagle attempting to take child

    http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/12/19/eagle-baby-attack-video_n_2327158.html Does a good job with images and freeze frames of showing why it isn't real. Disappearing shadows, The wing of the bird missing in one of the stills. Also once again I will ask where all the snow is.. something as...

    Eagle attempting to take child

    Where is all the snow in the video? Hasn't montreal been covered in snow for weeks? If its an older video why would the person wait all this time to upload it lol. Come on.. Like I said above as the baby falls the shadow disappears then reappears at least 2 times.

    Eagle attempting to take child

    The kids shadow is missing in parts as he falls back down to the ground. I wouldn't even put 5 quid on it being real. The web just got trolled again..

    need to stop starlings

    Indeed, I dont understand the selective feeding of birds. Whatever comes along should be able to eat what its able to get to. I put food in the feeders for the small birds then other stuff over the ground for the pigeons, Starling, magpie, blackbirds etc etc. I read a forum once where someone...

    Will Expensive Bird Food Attract More Birds?

    Hi, as surprising as this may seem to some people I get all mine from the £1 store. They are selling bags of nuts, sunflower hearts.. Mixed seeds etc. The birds come in non stop and wipe it out within a few hours, Everything from Tits/Goldfinches/woodpecker on the feeder to Jays, Chaffinches...

    Which point & shoot shall I buy?

    For £50 or £60 more quid then the useless Fuji stuff you could pick up a new Nikon P510 which is pretty much a point and shoot with 42x zoom. Best camera I have ever used, If you want to see a sample of some of the images that are possible feel free to check my flickr. They are all shot with...

    Woburn in Bedfordshire. Just wanted confirm really is this a Herring Gull? http://www.flickr.com/photos/giagiagian/8154443976 I try to use the random sites to confirm but I am just never confident enough to be sure with gulls.

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    After my first Great Spotted woodpecker the other day I have just seen a Green Woodpecker poking at the floor. All day long has been around 5 collared doves about 12 Chaffinch and 1 solitary dunnock. The endless Blackbird/Tit numbers also and the 2 jays that have been coming everyday for over a...

    Jays jays jays all day every day. 4 so far this morning. Its cool because I had never seen one before this year now all of a sudden they are as common as the blackbirds that show up. The feeders seem to have become super active since the hawthorn trees have been emptied. Great tits mostly but...

    Bird in the hawthorn tree (UK)

    Thats really cool! You mention "redwing" There was about 6 of them in the same location this ouzel was in only a few days back. First time I had ever seen them also.
