    Duck challenge

    Somebody has given me this duck to identify and I give up! As it is ringed I have no clue where it originally came from. Come on you duck experts!

    What is this

    Somebody sent me this image but won't tell me where it was taken. I just cannot pin down what it is and it's driving me mad!!! They probably took it in a zoo. James

    Policeman Collected Rare Eggs

    I will never understand this. I can just about understand egg collecting although I am dead against it. But why would anyone want, for example here, 50+ Woodlark eggs? Why not one of each species which is bad enough??? Would 100 Woodlark eggs be enough? 200? James

    Best sites in Northern California

    All info being absorbed - thanks. What I might do is publish our provisional itinerary to see what people think. I know if someone did that for the UK it would be obvious to local birders if a "must see" site had been missed out! California birders have a high reputation so should be able to...

    California pelagics - best time?

    Allow me to make you green then Jos. We did a pelagic when we were over in Washington which spanned the border with Canada. We saw three whole pods of Orca's including young that circled our boat for hours. Some great pictures and a truly unforgettable sight. James

    California pelagics - best time?

    Next holiday finally decided and it will be based from San Francisco and travelling. Thinking of next October. When is the best time for a pelagic and which is the best one? Would like most variety but would love to see our first albatross if possible. Any info gratefully received. James :t:
