    Abu Dhabi, UAE - Dec 2016

    Yeah, my first impression was Temminck's but I can't ascertain whether there is a tail projection which is why I punted for little. Temminck's tail projection should be apparent... if I remember that correctly?

    The first is a spotted redshank... isn't it? The second is a bit tricky because of the lighting but I'd punt on it being a little stint as well.

    Warblers ID, Dalat, Vietnam

    I'd agree with Hume's for 1, 3 and 4 at a best guess, but 2 isn't Eastern crowned. I'm drawn to say that this looks more like Davidson's leaf warbler, which used to be known as white-tailed leaf warbler. But Phylloscopus warblers are tricky at the best of times!!!

    Looking for a pair of pocket binoculars

    The Leica Ultravid 8x20 are pretty amazing, as are the 10x25 BR. But the Leica Trinovid 10x25 BCA are great value and almost like full-size, 'adult' bins. Very, very good.

    One day birding trip from Delhi

    Monkir, Thanks for this. I met Sanjay Sharma a couple of years ago as I arrived there. He took me to the back of the reserve for Indian courser, sind sparrow and brown-bellied sandgrouse. I think I have his contact details so I'll drop him a line. Nick

    One day birding trip from Delhi

    I'm calling into Delhi in a couple of weeks time and I'm desperate to see Brooks's Leaf Warbler. Does anyone know if there are there any 'certain' wintering individuals in the area?

    Norfolk birding

    I doubt that's what you meant at all you but if it is then fair enough... apologies for reacting. You should care what people think and, sadly, you do relish any and all comments as you are a major attention seeker. Despite being an expert on the birds of UEA, Norfolk, Britain and even...

    Norfolk birding

    So you fully admit that you meant the mealy I had back in February was an unreliable report? You were just being insidious? How sad it is that you relish saying that you've been called worse than "a despicable human being" and you are only just twenty years old. In hindsight, I think I might...

    Norfolk birding

    Tongue-in-cheek is figure of speech that is used to imply that a statement is humorously or otherwise not seriously intended, and it should not be taken at face value. This isn't what you intended at all... You really are a despicable human being.

    Yeah, why unreliable? Do you mean the one I had in February?

    Norfolk Dragon/Damselflies reports/news

    The light was great for photography until this turned up and it got pretty cloudy pretty quickly. I'm not experienced in Odonata but am I right in thinking the spots on the wings are important as these were almost certainly pale brown with a black border... Thanks for your help on this one...

    Thinking this is following the trend but would like thoughts... it's an Lestes emerald... in my garden in West Norwich on Saturday, 12th September, 2015

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    No need to apologise, at all for this and well done for having the presence of mind to take a photo. Congratulations on finding a county first!

    Common ivy (Hedera helix) is native to Britain and is widely distributed across the UK. It is an woody climber, able to grow in most soil types and is resilient to changes in climatic conditions.
