    Sandpiper - Ayrshire, Scotland

    This bird was seen on Sat, Sept 30 and initially thought to be Common Sandpiper. It was refound 2 days ago -assumed to be the same bird because, like the Sept 30 bird, it was distinctly pot-bellied. Comments as to the possibility of it being Spotted - or not!- would be appreciated. Sorry...

    Great Egret bill colouration

    Hi all, hoping somebody can provide some definitive info. I looked at a number of pictures of Great Egret on Birdguides. It appears that Great Egret (in Britain) only has an all black bill for part of May and June. Can anyone confirm that is the case - particularly the the all black bill is...

    Gulls, Minsmere, June 2017

    I would appreciate comments on the attached gull pics. At the time they looked different to the other Herring and LBBG present so I took pics. Now, looking at them on the computer I'm not sure at all that they are different. thanks in advance Gordon

    Pied Flycatcher nest sharing

    Hi, a friend has put up a number of nest boxes in a mixed Oak wood in south west Scotland. Talking to him last night he told me that he had noted 2 female Pied Flycatchers apparently sharing a box. Both birds were also noted sitting side by side on a branch with a male in attendance. There's...

    Mishmi Hills, India, March 26, 2017

    Would appreciate some input on this one. The half eye-ring, lack of wing bars and black eye-stripe point towards Grey-hooded Warbler I think. But the leg colour is wrong. And, in fact, when compared to images on OBC Images it just doesn't look like a Grey-hooded Warbler at all. For example...

    India e-visa

    Hope this is the best place to post this query. Looking at Govt of India visa application pages indicates "e-Tourist Visa (eTV) once issued on arrival is Only single entry , non-extendable , non-convertible & not valid for visiting Protected/Restricted and Cantonment Areas." My emphasis...

    Plover, Loch Ryan, Scotland

    This bird was noticeably smaller than the other juvenile Ringed Plovers and the supercilium looked very different. Not seen in flight nor heard calling. Is it a "runt" Ringo? thanks Gordon

    Herring Gull - Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, today

    The attached picture does not really clearly show the differences between the gull in question and the other obvious argenteus Herring Gulls - of which there were plenty but comments welcome. Through the scope the mantle and covert colour was really noticeably greyer than all the other Herring...

    Mt St Benedict area, Trinidad

    Anyone able to ID this one? Picture taken on March 29th, 2014. Asking as seem to remember thinking it was a different species when I took the picture. Now I'm thinking female/immature Violaceous Euphonia. cheers Gordon

    Gull in Ayrshire, Scotland

    Pictures straight out of camera. The pictures were taken at a considerable distance and the white is a bit over-exposed. Because of that you can only just make out the light, thin streaking which came down on each side of the neck. The streaking behind the eye and on the crown was obvious but...

    One from Ayrshire

    Any thoughts? I can't place it. Rubbish photo's of the bird on short grass surrounded by longer rank grass. At first I thought it would be a Skylark as I had already flushed a few - all of which gave their characteristic call as they flew off. This one didn't call and I didn't get any detail...

    Gull, Titchwell, 22nd August 2013

    Any thoughts on this one please? Distant digiscoped shots - slightly sharpened. Mantle was obviously a darker shade of grey than Herring Gulls and clearly not as dark as Lesser Black Back and leg colour not obvious. thanks in advance Gordon

    Mallorca June 10-17 2013

    A planned weeks camping in north west Scotland was abandoned when, towards the end of May, the road from Tomintoul to Braemar was closed with snow – some guaranteed sunshine was called for. A week in Port d'Alcudia was quickly arranged. We arrived in the early hours of Monday, 10th June and...

    Panasonic GX1

    I've just got myself the Panasonic GX1 with LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. Macro mode seems to be the most recommended method for use with compact cameras so I thought that might also apply to this camera. However, macro mode is only available as a preset or using...

    Three from Kerala/Tamil Nadu

    A friend has asked for my opinion on the ID of the following 3 birds. The pictures were taken at the end of January this year. I think the first is a Brown-breasted Flycatcher but I can't form an opinion on the other two. Any help appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Gordon

    Kenya in 2014

    Hi folks. I've started tentatively looking at organising a trip to Kenya in 2014. I've already bookmarked lots of websites with Kenya info and trip reports. However, being a lazy sod, rather than try to digest the load of information that I've already got access to I thought I'd seek advice...

    Big Norman

    I am wondering if anyone has used the Big Norman website to purchase photographic equipment. It has very competitive prices - but, it is a Gibraltar based site. Would equipment be subject to any additional duties on entry to UK? Will the equipment be "grey"? Any thoughts welcomed. cheers Gordon
