New to birds?!! (1 Viewer)

[samburns]

Hello,

I came by this site trying to work out whether what I was seeing in my local park were song thrushes or mistle thrushes :eek!: I'm still not sure....|:S|

Yes! I'm very new to taking an interest in birds....I recently saw the most magnificent bird soaring over some fields....realised afterwards (checking books/internet) I had been watching a red kite...then the other day saw a cormorant flying over my local park...only knew that's what it was from travels to India where I found the birdlife enthralling - ended up buying a field guide while there because I just had to know what all those amazing birds were |:$|

I've still no idea what the cormorant was doing flying over a park in London but I'm hoping that if I hang out here long enough maybe I'll find out :t::t:

You can read up more about the two thrushes HERE in Opus, and compare pictures by searching the Gallery from the links at the bottom of the article.

I hope you enjoy your time with us.
