    Sicily in August

    August is not the best time, but there are plenty of south of Catania area which presumably attract many migrating waders in August. The best are the Pantani Cuba and Longarini Nature Reserve, Priolo Nature Reserve and Vendicari Nature Reserve. You may also want to visit Mt Etna, where there...

    Yellow-headed Amazon

    Hi. thanks but I think you misunderstood my question. I already saw them. I was asking why it's not a Category C species any more.

    Best place in Europe for a short birding trip in June?

    1) Hot 2) Breeding season practically over - no singing/displaying/etc. 3) As you said no migration

    Best place in Europe for a short birding trip in June?

    Well the OP said the conference is at the end of June, so I would forget about the Mediterranean (speaking as a resident of it) and go for one of the northern European candidates e.g. Estonia, Finland, Poland. As others have said in early June you would have way more options.

    Yellow-headed Amazon

    I've been in Stuttgart for work over the past few days. The only potential WP 'tick' (or so I thought) which I could get was Yellow-headed Amazon, which I saw very easily. However, when I went to add it to my list I noticed that it is apparently not on the WP list anymore. I'm pretty sure it...

    Cyprus mid-July

    Hi everyone, I'll be in Cyprus for around 4 days in mid-July. It's will be a family holiday so I hope I can find some time for birding, probably early in the morning. The following is a list of potential lifers which should be around at the time: Cyprus warbler Cyprus scops owl Cyprus wheatear...

    Shearwater Croatia

    Not to be pedantic but Scopoli's Shearwater rather than Cory's would be the default

    Spring migration on Ventotene island at Easter

    All small islands in the Mediterranean are great for migration

    Andalucia, Spain, Lark ID

    they do but it's their standard flight call as opposed to their song. However I think Crested Lark should be considered for this bird.

    Eilat.....

    Pretty rare in Eilat I would've thought? The only other records in ebird are from 1980 and 2008

    What kind of raptors? (Egypt, Sinai)

    Steppe Buzzard for the rest

    Bunting, Bulgaria.

    Imo there's a good chance there's a decent sized pine bunting wintering population across the under-birded Balkans given the annual wintering populations in Italy and Greece.

    Interesting bird heading out to sea from Herne Bay, August 2021, last year.

    With all due respect there is no point discussing this photo.

    isn't the last one a Kestrel?

    Your most surprising omission

    The birding jargon for this is bogey bird. Mine is curlew (not common by any stretch of the definition but I definitely should have seen it by now).
