    Mystery Bird

    Hi all, I have been scratching my head over this one for days. Sorry about the quiet audio, but if you turn the volume right up, it's just about audible. I have never heard this bird call before and have no idea where to begin to identify it. Does anyone recognise this call/song? (It's a low...

    2024 Status Update: My Birding Year So Far

    Hey, everyone. You may have realised that I have not posted an update on here in ages. This was mainly due to my declining mental health, which led to my decreased motivation in recording my sightings whenever I go casual birding (as well as sharing my sightings and adventures on this site). I...

    Immature gull ID, England

    I am continually baffled by immature large gulls that were all known as Herring Gulls when I was learning my birds many decades ago. This one doesn't look like a straightforward argenteus to me, but I'm having trouble placing it. Perhaps some hybrid combination? When I first saw it I thought I...

    A Long Week of Campus Birding: A Summary of Events

    Haven't been active on here much, but I am very glad to say that I have been birding constantly over the past few weeks, and that I would gladly wake up early in the morning just to see the birds around my school campus. Since I was gone, I have seen many different types of birds that are new...

    Potential Goosander? UK

    Hey, I was lucky enough to see this duck today on my hike! I THINK it is a Goosander? I've never seen a duck like this, I'm not an avid birdwatcher, but I do very much enjoy seeing new (to me) species randomly. I didn't get a fantastic photo, as I only had my phone today and the duck was quite...

    Thank you for the kind words on the blue tit. A female pheasant for today. Golly! I hadn’t realised she was so special! We get lots of pheasant in our garden and I thought she looked a bit different.

    I was quite pleased with this close-up. Although, it was a bit of a cheat (it was trapped and ringed, so this was taken in the hand).

    This female Sparrowhawk that regularly visits my garden to prey on House Sparrows flew extremely close by my window and after catching nothing this time landed on the fence long enough for me to grab my camera.

    Have had the hide in the wood for some time now and did not even no there was a nest only found it two days ago. If you look close at the head image you can just make out the hide on the left eye as you view. To say I was made up is an understatement took me minutes to come back down to earth...
