    Robin or flycatcher with yellow below

    My wife was about 60-70 feet away - she is adamant it was something she had not seen before. I have suggested immature robin but she says no, as it was too yellow below. It behaved like a robin and the normal garden we have has perched on the same recycling bin subsequently. My son is 9 years...

    Robin or flycatcher with yellow below

    Thanks. As there was no sign today I expect it has moved on.

    Robin or flycatcher with yellow below

    I expect that you are right and that it was not anything - my wife saw if for 30 seconds or so and was convinced it was something unusual. I did actually go through all the common birds first with her and nothing fitted the robin jizz and yellow below. I don't think it fitted anything common I...

    Robin or flycatcher with yellow below

    Thanks. I have quizzed her again and it was yellow buff on the side and flanks and breast with no clear speckling at a range of 80 feet. I asked her to look through the book of birds of Thailand and she picked out Siberian Blue Robin immature female, although there were no specks on the upper...

    Robin or flycatcher with yellow below

    No, as the bird did not have any speckling at all on the lower parts - it was just pure yellow, save for the paler belly area. i think a sketch might help.

    Robin or flycatcher with yellow below

    Thanks, I don't think it was a blackcap, as she says that there was no contrast between the brown of the crown and the rest of the upperparts. It was uniform in colour from the head to the back area - with the back being brown. The light conditions would be unlikely to make the bird show...

    Robin or flycatcher with yellow below

    My wife saw what she described as a robin type bird with yellow below, brown back, no superciliary or wing bars, dark thin bill, like a robin in profile, brown on crown/head. It did not behave like a warbler and was just like a robin in its movements. It did not raise or lower its tail, so held...

    Blue Tit and Wren sharing same tree hole

    Hi Franmol, The Wren did seem to be clearing out faecal sacs, as they were white in colour, as you say. So it must have been unable to resist the urge to feed and care for the Blue Tit chicks. On one occasion two wrens went in to have a look at the same time. I did notice, to start with, that...

    Blue Tit and Wren sharing same tree hole

    I have noticed a (Winter) Wren coming to a Blue Tit tree hole. The Blue Tits have been in the hole about 3.5 weeks and the chicks must be close to fledging. The Wren has only just started approaching the hole. When it first started coming, it would hide if it saw the Blue Tit, and then only go...
