Hallooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is anybody here???!!!!!!
On Saturday I saw flock of Goldcrests again and 2 Ravens, Common Buzzard, Chiffchaff(?)
Tomorrow I got book "Birds of East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi" from my aunt :-O
Nice Goldcrest picture. Have had them in my Garden (2+ with 2 Coal tits) all of tonight, but they have been too quick for a good photo.

Maybe in future |;| But I would like to know all birds of the world (I know it isn't easy to make it, but probably possible)

I went to Gibraltar Point on the east coast yesterday and saw 49 species of birds including 2 lifers (Black-Crowned Night Heron and Pink-Footed Goose), 1 bird I havn't seen in over 18 months (Redwing) and a Great Skua chasing a gull not far from where I was standing on the beach.

Very nice Wiktoria! I have not had any new lifers in a while but today was very good. I saw loads of Yellow-rumped Warblers, Eastern Phoebes, and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo...I thought the cuckoo would be gone by now but I guess this one decided to linger...

A few pictures from the Garden yesterday:
(Goldcrests were in and out of the water so fast, that a poor record shot was all i could manage - happy to get a Goldcrest shot though, my first ever!!!)
(pics (left to right) Greenfinch, Greenfinch, Coal tit, Male and Female Goldcrest)

Nice pics! I really like the Goldecrest! Is that the same bird as the Golden-crowned Kinglet we have here in the States?

Thanks Accipter. And No, Goldcrest is a different species to Golden-crowned kinglet. Goldcrest is Regulus Regulus, and Golden-crowned kinglet is Regulus satrapa. Although i imagine they are very closely related!

Speaking of them cuckoos, I was QUITE upset to see my second unidentified cuckoo FROM A CAR today, and the third UnID'd one this week. I had never seen a cuckoo from a car before last Sunday. Now here's number 2.

I have never seen one from a car...usually I am chasing them through muck and brambles...

I kind of have a problem on my hands...Cornell's site All About Birds states that the Black-billed Cuckoo breeds in all of North Carolina. The Sibley Field Guide To Birds of Eastern North America says the BBC breeds only in North Carolina's mountains....so....who is right...Sibley or the Cornell Lab of Ornithology?
