    BOP ID's Western Australia

    Morning, I was after a little help with ID's from these pics. All taken in January around the Perth area. I think the first one might be a brown goshawk and the second a collared sparrowhawk. Only reason I'm speculating this is that in my mind the first bird was bigger...but I realise that...

    White Tailed Eagle sightings

    Hi, Firstly I don't claim to have seen a white tailed eagle, so sorry to disappoint. I was just wondering if there have been many sightings of White Tailed Eagles in Norfolk in the past few years? I was walking around the Snettesham area last summer when a large bird of prey glided past...

    Hi, Forgive my lack of knowledge here and sorry if this seems like a stupid question (I'm not embarrassed at all you know ;) ) but is this a juvenile whitethroat being fed? It's just that it's a bit on the large side?!! The photo was taken last summer (July). Thanks in advance Dave

    Aberrant Great Tit

    Hi, I came across this aberrant great tit at a local reserve last year and managed to get an ok shot of it. At the time I didn't have a clue what it was, so sent it off to the BTO for an ID. They got back to me stating that it was a great tit (I originally thought it was some sort of blue tit)...

    Beautiful sunshine for my day at Greenham Common

    I set out later than anticipated due to there being a thick layer of fog blanketing as far as the eye could see! After a slight detour I arrived at Greenham Common around 10.45am.

    UK Bird of prey ID help

    Hi, Could someone please help ID this bird of prey. The photo was taken at Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire last summer, apologies for the quality.
