    Large Raptor - Si Phang Nga, Thailand April

    I saw this raptor on 16/4/19 at Si Phang Nga, Thailand. In the field it was silhouetted & looked all dark, I got a couple of quick pics but my camera settings were all wrong so couldn't review any detail at the time. After a look in the field guides it was assumed to be a dark morph Changeable...

    Thailand, Sri Phang Nga day trip April 2019

    Thanks for the info and the link :t: The gates open at 8am but have read that the birding outside the gates can be quite good. It seems like a great area with some stunning target species so is definitely a place I would like to get to. Don’t think I will try public transport and my other...

    Thailand, Sri Phang Nga day trip April 2019

    Thanks, I have seen some site info with maps etc and it looks easy enough. I am not planning on driving, so may need to look at costs for hiring a driver for the day. Did you drive and was your time here worth while? Cheers

    Thailand, Sri Phang Nga day trip April 2019

    I will be in Thailand in April 2019 on a family holiday and was looking at a 1 day birding trip to Sri Phang Nga NP from Khao Lak with Thailand-Journey, on the 16th or 17th April, but their tour is for a minimum of 2 people. Details of the itinerary can be found...

    Orange "Hen" Harrier. Spurn

    Thanks for your comments Brian & Tib. I agree with your comments Brian, without closer views & more detailed pictures it is going to be difficult to come to any other conclusion than probably Hen. Especially turning up on the East coast after a spell of Easterlies. But like you say there is...

    Orange "Hen" Harrier. Spurn

    This bird was seen flying north at Spurn on sunday am 21st Sept. It struck me at the time how brightly marked the bird was. With very little streaking on the underparts. It was seen at quite a range but my friends Dave Jackson & Robin Gossage managed to get a few record shots. I thought it...

    Tenerife - Buzzard & Red Bishop?

    Thanks for your comments Well i must admit i had my thoughts of it being a honey buzzard but as HB is listed as accidental in the Canaries i was playing it safe but thought i would post a pic for confirmation. It was seen on the 26/9/12 over Montana Chayofita near Los Cristianos.

    Tenerife - Buzzard & Red Bishop?

    Hi, Here is a picture of what i presume is a dark juvenile Common Buzzard taken near Los Cristianos, Tenerife. Also what i presume is a Red Bishop - This is 1 of 2 birds at seen at Amarilla Golf Course - Tenerife Sept 2012. Not sure if anyone knows if the Bishops are escapes or an introduced...

    Tenerife 3rd to 10th August 2012

    Good to hear that the La Lajas site has escaped the fires, not sure if the fire has spread towards the Erjos Pools/Santiago del Teide area now. I think i read somewhere that Los Gigantes area has blue-crowned Parakeets

    Small metallic green moth

    I saw this small insect this morning on my car in Northampton, it certainly caught my attention with it's long two-toned antennae & metallic green wings. It was quite smart looking and to be honest i wasn't sure if it was a moth but I managed to get a record shot on my phone & have done a bit...

    Canon S95 for digiscoping

    Firstly I would just like to thank everyone who has posted their thoughts, findings & comments on this camera.:clap: My old Canon A95 eventually died on me, i never really got on with it for digiscoping & using it with a Baader adapter was quite awkward, but i missed the option of getting some...

    Spanish Moth for ID

    Thanks for your quick reply. Now I know what I am looking for I also found a pic on UK Moths website. It was on the coast (it was resting on a deck chair) & there were no beet or maize crops in the area so may have been migrating, but there are lots of greenhouses in the general area & they...

    Spanish Moth for ID

    I took this pic of a small Moth in Almeria, Spain, Nov 09. I have had a look thru the UK Macro moth book but cannot see anything similar although I have a feeling it may be a Micro moth. It is quite distinctive so I am hoping someone may be able to suggest it's ID? Thanks in advance.

    Is this an Emperor Dragonfly?

    Hi, I am hoping someone may be able to help me id this Dragonfly from Southern Spain. It was seen last week on salt marsh in Almeria. It was a large Dragonfly, which is why I think it may be an Emperor, but it spent a long time settled in one spot, usually I think of Emperors being very active...

    Recording Equipment

    I haven't used it but would probably suggest a remembird digital recorder, it has been designed for birding so should give you what you need. When you say inexpensive I am not sure what you mean, this is priced c £145 which isn't cheap but not overly expensive.

    Trapping in Spain

    Thanks for your replies. It is good to see that some action is being taken & that the local authorities in Spain can & do deal with this issue. I guess that this is not the sort of thing that is easy to stop, but hopefully with a combination of pressure, vigilance & enforcement it will in time...
