    Best time of year to visit Ecuador for a month or so?

    Hello Ecuador birders, I gather December to April is the best time weather wise but what about for birding? Are there any preferred times? I'm guessing January to March because of Northward Migration? I've not planned a Galapagos trip due to the expected expense but could easily visit...

    All the birds of the world

    I came here to find out what's being said about the All the birds of the world book coming out this year. Am tempted by it. But surprisingly, I couldn't find a thread about it - I must have missed it?

    Feeding Red Kites with meat on a string?

    I hadn't thought about that. I just asked the witness and he said yes, the guy had a camera. I had forgotten about the length these idiots go to to show off online.

    Feeding Red Kites with meat on a string?

    The person who saw it wondered if it was a poisoning attempt, but usually someone would leave the meat somewhere on the ground as you say. It's very odd.

    Feeding Red Kites with meat on a string?

    Has anyone ever seen anyone feeding Red Kites with meat on a string in Hertfordshire? Reports are that the birds disappeared after this event but the facts aren't all in yet. I've never heard of this apart from when falconers train and display there captive birds.

    Meeting birders in Oxford

    Hello all Oxford birders. I am here for the summer and I would like to meet some locals and go birding. My only transport is a bicycle so if anyone has any plans for the Chilterns or any other far flung places I wonder if I might tag along. Equally, we can meet at locations around the city...
