    Blackwater NWR, Maryland, USA 9th October

    I hope you can help me. We saw these two birds at Blackwater yesterday. They were at a distance and there was a marked difference in size. We wondered if they are the two different yellowlegs? But I’m the first to admit we lack knowledge! Thanks for reading

    Is this a flounced rustic?

    We have had flounced rustic before but this just seems a tad different. Can't think what else it is though, what do you think? Thanks again, help with ID is invaluable to people like me that are new to the obsession!

    2016 my gap year...a tad late maybe

    Having just retired after twenty years as a foster carer Ian and I are going to make 2016 the year to go birding in the UK. I love birds and have recently discovered the joy of moths too so the idea is to go around the UK seeking all things with wings! Also just to enjoy adventuring together...

    Devon in July

    We are in Devon from 7th -19th July and would welcome advice on good places to bird. It is a mixed holiday with birders and non-birders but all are happy to be out and about. I have Yarners Wood in mind and also Berry Head but a question about those is can you take dogs there? Any pointers...
