    Fethiye Turkey- Moths around town

    From the shape this looks more like a Ricaniid planthopper which could explain why no one has put forward an id. I was fooled by one in Madagascar that I initially thought was a moth. No idea of the species though, I don't think there are any of the family native to Europe, but some are...

    Is this slime mold?

    Looks like a mildew, probably specific to the plant species

    Can't comment on the possible ID, but have you compared with Steven Falk's Flicker site at Steven Falk's collections on Flickr

    Summer Tanager / Hepatic Tanager - Costa Rica

    If I remember correctly IOC have split Hepatic Tanager with those in Costa Rica now called Northern Hepatic Tanager, Piranga hepatica.

    Herring Gull or Vega Gull or just an Oly Gull

    Slaty-backed Gull? I would suggest too dark for Herring/Vega. Large white tertial crescent and just a hint of bright pink legs look better fit for Slaty-backed.

    Greenfinch at risk in UK

    I've actually seen more Greenfinch this year than I have in the previous 5 yrs (and possibly longer). They certainly seem to be staging something of a come back locally.

    Long weekend in Berlin

    I watched one fly in low through groups of people to try to take a pigeon or House Sparrow from a flock feeding on the path within Berlin Zoo - it missed.

    Long weekend in Berlin

    Ken, All those I had good looks at were juv's, or immature birds. I had some great views of Hawfinch coming down to drink by one of the streams running through the park. They dropped into a thick tangle but could be made out drinking at the waters edge. There were at least 6 birds but could...

    Long weekend in Berlin

    I was in Berlin for a couple of days last August and spent some time wandering round the Tiergarden - must have seen at least 6 different Goshawks, some incredibly close. They don't seem bothered by the people and the people don't bother them.

    How far do birders walk?

    it's not uncommon to see me walk 12-16 miles in a days birding close to home, in the hills at the top of the south Wales valleys. It doesn't usually get a big species list - 40 spp is very good, but in summer can include Redstart, Pied Fly, Spot Fly, Wood Warbler, Gropper, Tree Pipit, Cuckoo...

    Where to go at Christmas?

    All of the regular winter birding destinations should be fine over the Crassmass period - your choice depends upon how strong the desire is to get away from it all - Brunei, I believe, has banned any form of outward Christmas display - and how deep is your wallet - costs, partic' flights, tend...

    What birds should we be paying more attention to....

    American Woodcock - they have turned up in a few French shooters bags so can, and almost certainly do, make it to UK (and Ireland).
