    Is this a bird? Seen in UK

    Hello everyone, I have some perplexing pictures taken today in the UK. I see something pale in a tree hollow (roughly centre of the pictures) and I am not sure whether this is a bird. I understand that the pictures are low quality and so I do not expect to be able to say for sure, but does...

    Is this a harbour seal or grey seal?

    I have added some more pictures of the head, these are the only ones I have I'm afraid so hopefully identification will be easier now

    Heron/Bittern in China

    Hi thank you, I think it must have been one of them! I'll spend some time looking at photos to make sure, but the markings on their wings look very similar to the bird I saw!

The bird has black flight feathers and clear white wing patches that show in flight, and a yellowish/brownish coloured body. Any ideas what...

    Tree, Shanghai

    Does anyone recognise this shanghai tree? It's very common and planted along streets, it also has black berries which have begun to drop recently, these berries are all over the ground and birds like to eat them. What kind of a tree is this?

    Balcony Bird Feeding

    Not often, but sometimes I see tree sparrows perching around the area. There are other birds in the area but the sparrows are the only ones I've ever seen up near the balconies.

    Balcony Bird Feeding

    Alright so I have some bird food and some feeders. But I live in an apartment, on the 16th floor (there's 30 floors in total, in the apartment.) My question is, do you think birds would go that high to eat? Would they even notice if I put out food from that height? And, what are some things I...

    Phuket Skink

    Does anyone know all the skinks that live in Phuket? I saw a dark brown skink several timesin a mainly urban area of Phuket, near the beach. I'm sure there can't be that many different skink species in Phuket so any ideas?

    Light-vented Bulbul

    Probably a female, because it didn't look young.

    Light-vented Bulbul

    Today I saw two light-vented bulbuls perch in a tree. One of them turned to the other one, sort of hunched down a bit, and vibrated its wings at the other one, which flew away. I haven't seen this behaviour before and assumed it was a dominance display or something, is that true?

    The Elusive Kingfisher

    I know, they're so difficult to photograph! They tend to perch places where you can't see them well as well.
