    Upcoming trip to Egypt, asking for advices....

    I have lived in Egypt for 20 years and started birding around 2019. I don't think it is possible to buy binoculars here. They may appear on Amazon Egypt but doubtful they are in the country. Resident friends have returned from a trip to the UK with binoculars and were stopped but they argued the...

    Creating a Bird ID Card - Advice Please

It has been one year since I started out on a mission to learn all the names of the birds, and I am up to around 80 species. This has left me completely confused so the number one use of this...

    Comment by 'Guest' in media 'Little Miss Fledgling'

    No, definitely no shortage of food. The parents even had a stock at one stage they were catching so many migrating swallows. And there is usually such a bond between the chicks. Very strange

    It was all drama this year with the kestrels that nest opposite my balcony in El Gouna, Red Sea, Egypt. This is the 7th year I have followed their story from my apartment. It began with mum laying 5 eggs. 4 chicks hatched. Then two just vanished. Not sure what happened. There are always...

    What was it?

    I didn't see the bird before it was being consumed so was not sure with the spotted feathers on the ledge in front. I have been waiting to see the kestrels catch another spotted bird which they just did, so maybe it was a pipit?
