    Stop-over in Singapore in July

    If you are close to the airport take the bum boat over to Pulau Ubin and hire a bicycle or just have a walk around. Buy a guide book for SE Asia before you go and just enjoy the birds you see.

    Crete in Spring

    Unless your heart is set on Crete you should consider Cyprus if you really want Ruppell’s Warbler. I was in the Pathos area this year in the last week of March and there was loads of them along with plenty of other great birds.

    King Eider

    I didn’t realise you meant a specific bird. I thought you meant general info on the species. Whoops.

    King Eider

    It’s not a bird regularly found in Wales. A few turn up in Scotland each year amongst the Common Eider flocks I think, so your best bet would be to look out for the various rare bird reports found on the net. I imagine the Welsh birders on this forum would be a lot better informed on the...

    ID challenge Costa Rica

    It’s a separate photo. I know it’s a rubbish pic but the number of species in the photo I thought would make for an interesting ID challenge. Thanks for your help. That was my first trip to Central America so a lot of the smaller stuff has been a bit of a headache to say the least and a few...

    ID challenge Costa Rica

    The two large birds on the left were Tropical Kingbirds if I remember correctly. The Euphonia is Scrub Euphonia, and theres a Streak backed Oriole on the left. Its the birds on the right of the pic I'm struggling with.

    ID challenge Costa Rica

    It is a poor photo I know. The light was poor, there was no background, and the birds were at a fair distance. All part of the challenge but good answers though.

    ID challenge Costa Rica

    This pic was took at Playa Conchal Guanacaste a few days ago. There are 5 possibly 6 species in this shot. Can you name them all? (I certainly can't!).

    Songbird Guanacaste Costa Rica

    Possibly a female Scarlet Tanager?

    Songbirds Guanacaste Costa Rica

    Numbers 1 & 3 are Flycatchers I think. Possibly the same species but which one I've no idea. Number 2 I also haven't got a clue. The bird appeared to have a very short tail although it might just have been the angle it was perched. Number 4 is possibly a Summer Tanager inbetween plummages. This...
