    UK roadkill stats

    Ahh, I see. Probably not a good idea then. Any chance of a re route or wildlife tunnels?

    UK roadkill stats

    A good idea. Perhaps rather than a possibly unenforceable speed limit a few strategically placed speed bumps would help?

    Redpoll ? ID UK cambridgeshire

    Thanks! Though both Redpoll males still have red on the upper breast. It was an awkward view at the time. Looking up and birds never sit the right way for their photo shoot!

    Redpoll ? ID UK cambridgeshire

    I had ruled Linnet out because of the coloured patching on the breast. On Linnet this looks to be split on the Redpoll its in one patch.

    Goshawks -Koln area

    Hi there After a recent visit to Germany i saw some birds in the Koln city area that i believed to be Goshawks. Very built up area and high buildings. Too big for Peregrine (which we are more used to seeing in the UK cities now). Unfortunately not much detail as view was poor due to sun rays...

    Autumnwatch 2018

    I thought that too! Thank you for naming it for me. I am familiar with blue jay, red cardinal etc. But hadn't got a clue with this one. I did enjoy the programme but felt it didn't need to concentrate on more familiar species to us such as the loons. Also thought that it was running down the...
