    Bank Holiday Monday in the New Forest

    I spent bank holiday Monday in the New Forest, hoping to add to my year list. Despite the overcast conditions, it was a very successful day. We started off at Acres Down. There were two principal targets here, resident Goshawks and visiting Honey Buzzards. The HBs were a bit of a long shot as...

    RFI Arnside Knott and Gait Barrows

    Covid restrictions permitting, I will be visiting north Lancashire from saturday 15th August for a week. I hope to have some time to enjoy the Arnside and Silverdale AONB as well as Bowland. Am I likely to be too late for the local specialities - I'm hoping Scotch Argus will still be on the...

    Mammal droppings id request

    Hello, These droppings were on my lawn this morning. Would I be right in thinking that they are Muntjac? This would be a very unexpected addition to the garden list as we are quite urban, although there are allotments nearby.

    Fritillary - Northern Spain

    Please can anyone confirm whether this is a Spanish Fritillary? The picture was taken on 27th April on a roadside above a river not far from the Mallos del Riglos. Unfortunately, I did not see the under-wing to help with ID. Thank you, Robin

    RFI Cordoba Area for Next Week

    Due to rather strange circumstances, I will be visiting southern Spain from 24-28th June. I am nominally there to provide support for my son's T1 diabetes during his school trip, but of course, like any teenager, he doesn't want his Dad training around after him and I only need to be available...

    RFI Pearl Fritillaries

    It looks like I will be able a rare trip out on Sunday and having seen all but one of the Upper Thames Butterfly species (Brown Hairstreak still eludes me), I was hoping to fill up some of the gaps on my national list with a trip south of Berkshire. Two species I am missing are Pearl-bordered...

    RFI Fuerteventura

    I am going to Tenerife next week (10th June) with three friends. Two of us have had the slightly crazy idea of heading over to Fuerteventura to try to catch up with the Chat, Bustard and other eastern island specialties. We are thinking of flying over mid morning and back again in the evening...

    BH Gull or ? UK

    This pic was taken by a friend of mine on 17th April of a Gull at Hosehill Lake in Berks. Unfortunately the quality isn't great! He noted that the bird seemed to have a dark bill and was smaller than the other BH Gulls present at about 90% size. We are fairly sure the bird is just a small BH...

    Nesting Blackbird in January in the UK

    I know we are having a mild winter but I find this very unusual! There is an outbuilding outside my office (in Reading, Berkshire) with three narrow ledges about a metre off the ground and all have nests on in various states of completion. When my colleague pointed out the nests I assumed they...
