    Sound identification please

    I think you may be right, it was either water rail or a young bird, after listening to young coot, I think that's pretty spot on! Thanks ☺️

    Warbler species french Pyrénées

    Quite a few. Loads of blackcaps, chiffchaffs, some Dartford (sometimes), melodious, sedge, reed, wood, cettis, whitethroat and more I expect..

    Thanks for your reply. If I can get another confirmation I'll put it down as a tick! :)

    Warbler species french Pyrénées

    Often thought of it. Often done it. It's not easy with thick fog / clouds when up a mountain. I would have struggled to see a horse 5 m in front of me. Unfortunately that made seeing a warbler in a bush pretty tough..

    Warbler species french Pyrénées

    Hi all, I don't trust merlin IDs, which is why I compared the song to genuine recordings AND am asking for your opinions :)

    Warbler species french Pyrénées

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Can I ask what makes you suggest orphean? My app gave me garden warbler which seemed more likely. Thanks

    Warbler species french Pyrénées

    Hi all, I'd appreciate any thoughts on this please. Merlin has it down as a tick for me, and having listened to the call, I am hopeful, but would like expert opinion (I won't say what Merlin says so as to not influence opinions). I have a few other recordings if needed. Thanks in advance

    I was thinking along the hawfinch line but there's too much white... I'm really confused 🤣

    No idea - French Pyrenees.

    Hi all. Took this today not far from Tarbes in the french Pyrenees. I was driving and thought it was a greater spotted woodpecker for a min, but took s pic because it seemed odd. This is the only pic, I didn't see it through bins or scope. Any thoughts

    Bop french pyrenees. Buzzard? Honey buzzard? Other?

    Hi all. I saw two of these before I had my scope out. Got a few pics and assumed they were buzzards but the wings look chunky and with the brightness turned up enough the tail markings might suggest honey buzzard? Thanks for any thoughts.

    Bird of prey French Pyrenees

    Wow, cheers guys, TBH, Osprey was a thought of mine in the field, mainly because of colour. What's making you say Osprey ?

    Bird of prey French Pyrenees

    Hi all, another day, another game of "whats this blurry pic of?". I went to a local spot hoping for a Short toed eagle (seen this week) and saw this "contender". The bird was miles away but through the scope I saw the bird was pale and dark. Darkish head, pale-ish body. The bird seemed big...
