    Once you've got it off the camera it may help you slightly.

    North Sea Thread

    Gander, does the decommissioning mean that at some point soon you will no longer be working on the platform and one of the best threads on bird forum will have to cease?

    Ivory-Billed Woodpecker continued

    The book may mention "drug cartels", but according to Wikipedia it definitely has a passage about logging companies giving poison to locals to smear on communal feeding trees and this likely causing extinction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_woodpecker

    Starlings Help/Advice

    When/if you get something to stop the Starlings clearing out your food. Please try to make sure you still put food out for the starlings as well. Of the birds you listed as visiting they are one of the species that have suffered the biggest declines in the UK over recent times.

    new paper on the Ivory-billed Woodpecker

    Thanks. Can you clarify that i am understanding correctly. The source you posted suggested that the IBW was hunted for hundreds of years, firstly by native American's then by Western Colonisers. Yet despite this hunting pressure being evident throughout most (all?) of the time the species...

    Ringed Blue Tit Whalsay

    Late to the party in this thread. Agree with all the comments on it being a Norwegian ring. Some extra info (not needed in this case but may be useful in future) - The number being above the "address", when ring is correct way up (as in this case) also indicates it is not a British ring. Ours...

    Corona virus threat to birding

    The thinking behind the staggering isn't to stop people getting it, it's to prevent a huge surge of patients all at the same time, overwhelming the facilities to help those in need. It also, in theory at least, allows time to increase the capacity of facilities to help those people who will be...

    Corona virus threat to birding

    I read somewhere, that the problem with any plan like this is the sheer numbers of people involved. Something like 5.4 million people in the UK are currently receiving treatment for asthma: 1.1 million children (1 in 11) and 4.3 million adults (1 in 12). Even more will have had it in the past...
