    Does anyone have an idea of what bird this might be, found its way to a suburban garden in Southampton. I'm assuming ist some sort of quail and maybe escaped from gamebird rearers, but just a guess. California quail? Thanks David

    Different colour morphs in red squirrels

    I've just started to get some squirrels nicking nuts from the peanut feeder in the garden. I don't mind too much as I quite like to see them. The thing is the one I saw today was quite dark in colour, not really black but a very dark brown. The usual squirrel (Cyril) that I see around the garden...

    Bats in daylight

    I saw a bat flying at noon yesterday on a bright Spring day at Dynefwr castle in Llandeilo. Seemed to going after insects and I think catching them. Is that unusual, not something I've seen before. Is it fairly common. David

    UK only butterfly guide

    British Isles only butterfly guide I was wondering what the general consensus of opinion was on which is the best British butterfly guide, also possibly moths too. I shan't be travelling in Europe and I'd rather cut out the species I'm unlikely to see. Thanks David
