    Ebird moved my checklists?

    This is a bit of an odd one, I just noticed that Ebird's moved some of my checklists to a different but nearby location. Full backstory on this (not interesting, but to explain the situation) I originally filled in two checklists using an existing hotspot which was a bit vague in title - the...

    Mediterranean Gull? Frampton Marsh

    I was just looking through the background of photos taken on my visit earlier this month, wondering if I'd unknowingly caught the Red-Breasted Goose among the Brents which was being discussed in another forum post. No such luck, but do I have a Mediterranean gull here? Very distant poor pic...

    UK Gulls

    I've just been reading about yellow-legged gulls, and wondering if I've been seeing them without realising, so I had a look back through a batch of photos and could possibly have some here? Seem to be three different shades of grey on show, with the palest in each pic being herring gull and the...

    Free fluff for all!

    Inspired by seeing the jackdaws gathering mouthfuls of fur after I'd been de-fluffing my moulting shetland pony, I stuffed my own pockets and brought some home for the garden birds. How to offer it up? Re-purposed a spare feeder I'm not using right now. It'll be interesting to see what birds...

    Bad photo waders and an extra question

    Frampton Marsh, Lincolnshire. Loads of really good sightings, also some confusing ones too far away which I can't wrap my novice-birder head around - any help would be greatly appreciated! This one was such poor lighting, looked and behaved Redshanky but I just couldn't tell in silhouette...

    Found a Lumix FZ7!

    A little backstory to this - a few years ago, my mum bought me a camera bag in a charity shop for a couple of pounds, she thought it might be useful. I could see at a glance that it was too small for my camera, and I don't actually like carrying it in bags anyway, so I said thanks for grabbing...

    Help with Pipits - UK

    I've been finding pipits really difficult to tell apart, so far I've been counting them all as Meadow but wondering if I have any Tree amongst them? Here's a few of the best photos I've managed, would appreciate any confirmation from people who know these birds much better than I do! Pipit A...

    Which Warbler (UK)

    Some rather bad photos, taken in the far-reaches-of-my-camera-zoom, while I was spectating on a cross country course in mid Norfolk and mid summer. Little bird was hanging about in the leaves, catching insects/spiders with a neat hovering technique - didn't hear it make any sounds, and it flew...

    One Life List in three orders

    Because I just couldn't decide which way I wanted to keep it, my Life List comes in three different formats! Here first of all, is the most proper, my Taxonomic Order list (using Ebird, hoping theirs isn't a contentious or idiosyncratic order no-one else likes!) Greylag Goose Pink-footed Goose...

    Waders and wildfowl which have me puzzled (UK)

    I am not great with waders yet, they seem to be the trickiest for me to recognise - even with photos and illustrations right in front of me, I cannot always pin down exactly what I'm looking at. I've given up on this one, probably very easy for those of you who know the UK waders off by...

    The 'what is in this terribly bad photo?' ID request (England)

    Spurred on by the friendly tone of the 'read this before posting in the ID forum' thread, especially the line "If all you've got is a glimpse of something avian disappearing in deep cover..." , I thought I'd share what is a quite frankly terrible photo I took in a carpark in rural Norfolk last...

    Hello, BirdForum!

    Good evening! I just thought I'd follow the site's friendly hint and post a little hello thread. I'm not new to enjoying birds, but I'm new to birding, if that makes sense! I've always spent a lot of time outdoors, from a country childhood, keeping native ponies as my hobby, a love of...
