    Chameleons in Spain

    I am going to Donana next week for some birding and thought I’d try to see the chameleons in the small park in Rota. However, there doesn’t seem to be any info on them in this location for quite a number of years. Does anybody know if this is still a good place to see them please?

    Help with Cornwall Gull ID Please

    Hi Folks, I'm useless with gulls but this one really stood out while birding on the Hayle Estuary last week, because of its strong head pattern, especially the white collar all around the neck.

    Hi, I'm planning a trip to Argentina for next year and hoping to include a few days around Cordoba.

    Any offers on this bird at Lung Sin waterhole in kaeng Krachan please? I've got it down to streaked wren babbler or spot throated, but could be anything for all my experience of this family.

    Pale phase RLB or Gyr?

    I believe this is a pale phase rough-legged buzzard but, as it was digiscoped from quite a distance (near Batsfjord, Norway) and as I've never seen a pale phase rlb or a gyr, i thought I'd just ask for some opinions. Anyone out there got any?

    Help with Kruger LBJs please

    Just returned from a trip to SA, including Kruger where I came across these LBJs. My guess is that the first is a rattling cisticola, the second a toss up between a tf prinia and lazy cisticola but most probably the former and I think the last is some form of indigobird but I have no idea. The...
