    Birding near Koln/ Cologne

    Hi ffatbirder Thanks for this. Is useful for me as Germany is often one of those places we visit so hopefully next time I will get some birding in.

    UK roadkill stats

    Ahh, I see. Probably not a good idea then. Any chance of a re route or wildlife tunnels?

    UK roadkill stats

    Redpoll ? ID UK cambridgeshire

    Thanks! Though both Redpoll males still have red on the upper breast. It was an awkward view at the time. Looking up and birds never sit the right way for their photo shoot!

    Goshawks -Koln area

    Hi there After a recent visit to Germany i saw some birds in the Koln city area that i believed to be Goshawks. Very built up area and high buildings. Too big for Peregrine (which we are more used to seeing in the UK cities now). Unfortunately not much detail as view was poor due to sun rays...
