    Ringtail Harrier, Tacumshin Lake, Ireland

    Saw this ringtail Harrier yesterday at Tacumshin Lake, Ireland and between me and a few others in the field couldn't decide on Hen or Montagues. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks

    Feather ID Ireland

    That crossed my mind but strange location, steep hill in middle of woodland in the middle of nowhere. Thanks.

    Feather ID Ireland

    Found this feather today in the middle of a woodland track. With all these Pokemon supposedly around I can only imagine it's from a Pidgey. But any real ideas?

    Owl feather ID

    This feather has sparked a bit of a debate on Twitter, it was found yesterday evening in Co. Kilkenny. The feather itself was found in a wooded area with Barn Owls nesting only a few hundred feet away. When I first posted it people immediately said Barn Owl with a few saying Long-eared, now...

    Essex Birding

    A really long wait for the Osprey this afternoon, me and Steve Halstead arrived at around 9am and were told it was last seen around 6am, so we were sure it would appear any minute. But a long 4 hours later, surely the longest period of daylight it hadn't been seen for on any day, after a...

    Essex Birding

    Just had a Med Gull amongst the Black-headeds from my bedroom window and then the garden where I took the pic from. I'll be paying more attention from now on.

    Essex Birding

    Couple of record shots from Abberton Reservoir today. Black Tern and Red Kite, not bad finds on a day where I thought I'd see nothing.

    Essex Birding

    Me and Mr Halstead just created an Essex Birdwatching facebook group. There is already a Birding in Essex group which I was in but it seems to have lost it's meaning and I wanted to have a group where Essex wildlife could be discussed and shared without a picture of a Cattle Egret from Africa...

    Suffolk Birding

    Hey Suffolkers, thinking of heading up tomorrow, possibly to Minsmere but was wondering there are any other good sites at the moment, where would you go? Thanks.

    Good day at Abberton, didn't know Bill Oddie was going to be there so that was a nice surprise. Was awesome to see Sir David too. 3 Little Ringed Plovers and a Ringed Plover off LDH Causeway, Cuckoo and a Yellow Wagtail.

    Essex Birding

    I always thought that as the water level dropped during summer and autumn that the island will still become exposed and that the "natural edges" will become more exposed and inviting to waders. See pic I managed to find below which is a few years old. #2 Suggests several islands but I don't know...

    Essex Birding

    This event is hosted by a Essex and Suffolk Water to celebrate of the completion of all the work they've been doing rather than the centre or reserve. They had a previous opening day for the centre with Michaela Strachan.

    I may be able to get behind the scenes at Abberton but sadly there's no ticket vault to break into. Wonder if Mr Attenborough accepts bribes? I have a single ticket that I'll reluctantly let go on any bids upwards of a million pounds.

    It's a good job they've ruined their reputation otherwise I would've been bragging about that one everywhere
