    Black and white bird -Cookstown NI

    My brother just sent me this photo of bird a relative just sent to him from their garden in Cookstown Northern Ireland. It doesn't look like a wagtail but I can't think what else it would be?

    Paphos Sewage Works Cyprus Trip October 2018

    The Paphos Sewage Works is a well known birding destination in Cyprus particularly for spur-winged plover. I almost didn't do the trip as I could not find any definite information about the site's location on the internet, and surprisingly, our holiday rep had no idea where it was! Hopefully...

    Warbler from Cyprus

    Hi, I took this at the end of October at the Paphos sewage works in Cyprus. Is it a Sardinian warbler?

    Dead bird Belfast

    My brother just sent me this photo of a bird that was dead on the pavement outside of where he works in Belfast. I can't make out what it is. My best guess was a snipe?

    Feathers and distant bird for ID Eccleston Mere NW UK

    Can anyone ID these feathers? I can't think of what they are from. The perched bird had a really obvious white supercillium even though it was a good distance away. My first thought was whinchat but is there anything else it could be? I know a definite ID probably won't be possible! Thanks...

    Peregrine? big crop North West UK

    I saw this large bird on the ground for around 30 mins earlier this week and it seemed to be eating something. It was very distant and I could hardly make out any details through the binoculars but can see a moustachial stripe on the photos. Is there anything else this is likely to be other than...

    Partridge?? Merseyside UK 6/11/16

    This partridge? has got me confused for some reason - the line across the neck and facial markings don't look exactly like grey or red-legged. Or is it a pheasant?!

    Parasitic Wasp Uk

    Hi all, I found an elephant hawk moth caterpillar in the summer and decided to keep it to hopefully watch it pupate and hatch. I've just been in to check if it's hatched yet and found this wasp which is 23mm long. Is it possible to id from this photo? Edit: Is it amblyjoppa proteus? I've...

    Very pale willow warbler? Billinge Hill Merseyside UK

    I've never seen a willow warbler with underparts as white as this before. It stood out from the other willow warblers like a sore thumb! Damian P

    bird on wire, Billinge Hill Merseyside UK

    We briefly saw this distant bird on overhead wires yesterday evening. There had been a few spotted flycatchers on the hill so we were hoping for some other migrants along with them. The photo was taken under an over-cast sky so the colour should be true...

    White wagtail? Merseyside UK

    I've seen white wagtail before but couldn't get close enough to be certain of this before two walkers disturbed them. This was the best photo I got but I'm not sure...

    Bird Call Merseyside UK

    I'm having trouble placing this call I heard today around Eccleston Mere. The call seems to be in two parts - a rising whistle (like a chiffchaff hueet), then a pause then a descending churr. You can hear it a few times behind the Canada geese and dunnock song. Probably something common, but...

    Sony PCM M10

    I've been birding for around five years now and want to hone my audio ID skills. I can ID the usual calls of most common species but sometimes, I still hear calls that I'm not sure of and by the time I've got home to search on the net, I've forgotten what they were like. I'm hoping to be able...

    Strange Thrush NW UK

    I was watching a flock of about 35 thrush today, they were very distant but they looked like mistle thrush. However one of them stood out from the others - I only saw the flight shot when in the field but when I got home I found the same thrush on two other photos also. It's got a distinctly...

    Moth for ID NW UK

    I disturbed this moth while digging up the garden this afternoon. It looks to me like it's only just emerged from the pupae as it's wings haven't fully pumped out yet. I put it under my shed, I hope it's ok. It was around 1 inch in size... Whoops - sorry, I've just realised this is in the wrong...

    Brown moth - poor photo North West UK

    I'm having trouble identifying this moth I saw earlier, I've been through lots of internet images. I'm a compete novice so it could easily be something common. Thanks, Damian Edit - I found a much better photo.

    Black Guillemot? LLandudno 27/5/14

    I've just returned from a family holiday in North Wales and saw some cracking birds while I was there including redstart, lesser whitethroat, pied fly, wood warbler etc etc. I tried my hand at seawatching, something I've never really done before and spent a bit of time watching the...

    White wagtail? Merseyside UK

    I had this down as a white wagtail but am now having doubts. Is the rump light grey enough?

    Raptor id's Merseyside Uk

    I know there's not much to go on (especially the first one) but I'm hoping someone can help with these. The first bird was seen repeatedly dive bombing a flock of meadow pipits and was really nimble in flight - never seen a kestrel or sparrowhawk fly like this. I've only ever seen merlin and...

    Juvenile Spotted Flycatcher NW UK

    I found this bird this morning at Eccleston Mere. Are these markings and colouration on the edge of the secondary feathers typical for a juvenile spotted flycatcher? I can't find any photos on google that look quite like it. Cheers, Damian.
