    Wood or Yellow-necked Mouse

    Marbled Newt

    Hi there, I was in the Serra Da Estrela NP in Portugal last October and at just under 1700m in a fast flowing mountain spring I found a Marbled Newt. I presume it is Triturus marmoratus marmoratus (Northern) and not T. m. pygmaeus (southern/pygmy)? Any thoughts appreciated. Cracking creature.

    Hi, This Collared Dove has been at the feeding station and is evidently very different to a standard Collared Dove. The legs far brighter red and a very distinct eye ring. It does appear very wet so affecting its colour but it is all round a darker bird. Any suggestions on other types of...

    We thought this bird to be a juvenile White-tailed eagle but looking at the photo the lack of wedge shaped tail is obvious. Dark goldie? Thanks for any suggestions, Tom

    Odd pipit?, Glos, UK

    I saw this bird a few times getting up with a flock of Meadow pipit. It was easy to pick out amongst the flock in flight due to the shorter tail and different flight. I didn't see it on the ground and didn't hear it call unfortunately. Shocking pics I know. Thanks for any input.
