    Feather ID - Sussex, UK

    I think this is just a pheasant feather but would like a second opinion

    Would you tick the male White Stork at Knepp?

    Personally, I probably wouldn't. Although I am on the fence about it hence posting the question on here. I feel that with the many reintroduction projects and escapees in the country I wouldn't be confident that this really is a wild bird. If I were to go to Knepp now, i'd probably just enjoy...

    Would you tick the male White Stork at Knepp?

    Apologies if this has already been discussed, but i couldn't find anything on the other threads. What are peoples thoughts on the male White Stork at Knepp? Would you tick it? Obviously, the tagged birds are't tickable as they are reintroductions, and their offspring wont be tickable until a...

    Yellow Wagatil - flavissima or flava?

    I've confused myself with this yellow wag I found at walthamstow marshes in london today and could do with a second opinion whether it's a blue headed or not. Thanks.

    Travelling to Cat Tien from Ho Chi Minh City

    I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam, including some time in Cat Tien. Before going I read a lot about the various ways of travelling there from HCMC, with many people suggesting getting a bus towards Dalat, getting off at a particular junction then getting a moped the rest of the way...

    Waxwing

    As mentioned, the WaxwingsUK twitter account is a good place to check - https://twitter.com/WaxwingsUK Seems they are coming over the border into Northern England, albeit slowly

    Non-Territorial Robins

    I have always thought (European) Robins to be territorial birds, especially as the weather gets cooler. But over the past couple of weeks i have had three birds living in my garden who dont seemed concerned with each other. Why would this be? Could they be related? Or are they just not as...

    Birding around Hoi An

    I will be visiting Vietnam in early April next year. I'll be going with my girlfriend who isn't a birder and therefore it isn't strictly a birding trip. However, we have factored in a couple of days in Cat Tien, for which I have found loads of really useful information for. We'll then be moving...

    Bay of Biscay Sea Safari with ORCA and Brittany Ferries - Aug '18

    Being on the ORCA trip gives you the benefits of having the upper deck to yourselves and a group of spotters to point out things that you may otherwise have missed. However, you could definitely do the trip independently and see plenty.

    Bay of Biscay Sea Safari with ORCA and Brittany Ferries - Aug '18

    Yesterday I returned home from a three day Sea Safari cruise from Portsmouth to Santander and back to Plymouth with ORCA and Brittany Ferries. In planning this trip I read several trip reports from when these cruises were run by Company of Whales but very few from the new route so I thought I'd...
