    Albatross ID please help.

    I took these pictures in 1971 from the deck of the Royal Yacht Britannia at sea in the Southern Oceans. I recently rediscovered them in an album and would really like to ID if possible. The location as far as I know was on passage to Australia/New Zealand but could have been days away from there...

    Black Woodpecker

    Thanks This is very good for us, I really appreciate it thank you. As we won't have too much time, is there more than one car park there, will we find the carpark easily?

    Black Woodpecker

    I am planning a short trip under the Chunnel next week to look for Black Woodpecker. Has anyone got any relatively recent information that could be helpful? I am looking for sites within an hour or so of Calais. Thanks in anticipation. Charlie

    From my Manhattan Window

    Actually, that's not quite correct. The "insult' is actually "grockle" not grackle and as someone living in Devon for 35 years and having lots of Cornish friends, I don't think it does refer to residents of Devon but just outsiders in general who are on holiday (vacation). The word emmet is...

    Could anyone offer me any information about Great Tit in Crete. Can I assume that any Great Tit seen there is of the sub species P. m. niethammeri. I would very much appreciate any input, thanks.

    Common Crossbill, association with Coal Tits.

    I have been watching and photographing the Crossbills in my nearby woods at Haldon, Devon UK very successfully at last. It has taken me more than a year to learn what is going on and now I understand what they are doing I am pretty much having quite a lot of success. I had been watching a pool...

    Ecuador Hummingbird again.

    This one was photographed at Alambi as far as my records show. I hope someone can help me again and thank you. My guide was supposedly taking notes and listing for me, but it turned out that he wasn't, a lesson learned. I am working through my photographs of course.

    Help with Ecuador

    I have now returned home after my trip to Ecuador which was absolutely amazing and was at least 10 times better than I expected!!! I was based around Puembo Birding Garden to start, a real jewel of a place with brilliant "home from home service". The owner Mercedes is incredibly caring and...

    Help with Ecuador

    I hadn't thought about this aspect of paying towards conservation, it makes me look at this in a new light so thank you. I hope that the comment about London is "tongue in cheek" but I get your point. I would never feel unsafe anywhere in the UK so its reassuring to know that safety doesn't...

    Help with Ecuador

    ".....but it was worth the added cost (for us) to get a running start each morning without arranging a taxi or other transport. Neither of those contradicts the "true wildlife experience" but I'm unable to make the same assertion for Paz de las Aves (at least based on my perhaps atypical...

    Help with Ecuador

    I massively appreciate your help, thank you. I am really looking forward to the trip. I am massively bogged down with information overload though! My plan is to stay the first day at Puembo, then acclimatise and photograph the species in the garden there. Then the next day, get a guide/taxi to...
