    Ageing of Cuckoo, England

    On 10 July I trapped and ringed this Cuckoo at Gibraltar Point, England. I would welcome any opinions about the ageing of this bird. The underparts (not photographed) were mostly that of an adult female - mostly barred black and white but with some dull rufous on the breast.

    Close-ringed Parrot

    Apologies if this is not the most suitable forum for this.

    Phylloscopus - Landguard, England

    Warblers! Don't you love them, or hate them, or both? Today at Landguard Bird Observatory, Suffolk, England, we trapped a Willow Warbler/Chiffchaff-type Phylloscopus that was clearly emarginated to p6 on both wings (please see attached photographs). This should mean that it is a Chiffchaff...

    Kuwait Wader

    Mike Pope photographed this wader at Al-Abraq Al-Khabari in the Kuwait desert recently and has asked me to identify it. The angle of view is certainly a bit unusual, which makes this a challenge.
