    Would you tick the male White Stork at Knepp?

    Apologies if this has already been discussed, but i couldn't find anything on the other threads. What are peoples thoughts on the male White Stork at Knepp? Would you tick it? Obviously, the tagged birds are't tickable as they are reintroductions, and their offspring wont be tickable until a...

    Yellow Wagatil - flavissima or flava?

    I've confused myself with this yellow wag I found at walthamstow marshes in london today and could do with a second opinion whether it's a blue headed or not. Thanks.

    Travelling to Cat Tien from Ho Chi Minh City

    I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam, including some time in Cat Tien. Before going I read a lot about the various ways of travelling there from HCMC, with many people suggesting getting a bus towards Dalat, getting off at a particular junction then getting a moped the rest of the way...

    Non-Territorial Robins

    I have always thought (European) Robins to be territorial birds, especially as the weather gets cooler. But over the past couple of weeks i have had three birds living in my garden who dont seemed concerned with each other. Why would this be? Could they be related? Or are they just not as...

    Birding around Hoi An

    I will be visiting Vietnam in early April next year. I'll be going with my girlfriend who isn't a birder and therefore it isn't strictly a birding trip. However, we have factored in a couple of days in Cat Tien, for which I have found loads of really useful information for. We'll then be moving...

    Bay of Biscay Sea Safari with ORCA and Brittany Ferries - Aug '18

    Yesterday I returned home from a three day Sea Safari cruise from Portsmouth to Santander and back to Plymouth with ORCA and Brittany Ferries. In planning this trip I read several trip reports from when these cruises were run by Company of Whales but very few from the new route so I thought I'd...

    Country listing on pelagics

    Like many birders I keep country lists, adding to these when I re-visit these countries. This summer I will be going on a pelagic trip from Portsmouth to Santander and was wondering how country listers deal with these trips. Presumably I will be passing through British, French and Spanish...

    Cornwall Seawatching in May

    I will be down in Cornwall for May bank holiday weekend (24th-29th), staying around the Lizard. I've never tried seawatching before but thought i'd give it a try while I was down there. What would i be likely to see this time of year?

    Goshawk kill?

    Over the weekend i was walking through a woodland in East Sussex and came across this kill. I was hoping someone could shed some light of what the prey and predator may have been. You can see a line of faeces by the fur which suggests a bird of prey. The fur looks like it could be grey squirrel...

    Tripod and head combo for ED50

    I bought a Nikon ED50 last month as my first scope. Ive been using it as a handheld since then but am now looking for a tripod for it. I'd want this to be lightweight so it doesn't negate the benefits of having such a small scope. Also, i dont want to spend more than £120 on the whole set-up...

    Yucatan Peninsular, April '17

    I have just returned from week in the Yucatan Peninsular. This was not strictly a birding trip as I was here with my girlfriend. That being said, I did manage to squeeze in an hour or so everyday, as well as a morning with a guide. 22nd April We landed early in the evening and I soon gained my...

    eBird Spreadsheets?

    I used to be able to downloads the bar charts from ebird into an Excel spreadsheet. However, when I now click 'Download Histogram Data' I get a encoded (.txt) file. Does anyone know if you can still download spreadsheets from eBird? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

    Yellow-backed Oriole? Yucatan Peninsula

    Firstly, i apologise for the poor quality photos. These have been heavily cropped from pictures i took on my phone - i didnt have a camera on me at the time. I have this bird down as a Yellow-backed Oriole but would like confirmation as i am not 100% sure. These pictures are all of the same...

    Two from South Goa, India

    Both of these birds were seen in Agonda, South Goa. The BoP was much larger than a Black Kite that was mobbing it and was also a very acrobatic flyer - White-bellied Sea Eagle? Juv.? The wader was in a group of about 6 and they were all very vocal and costantly bobbing when on the ground -...

    New Forest birding sports (near Brockenhurst)

    Me and my girlfriend have booked a long weekend in the New Forest (near Brockenhurst) in the New Year. Although this wont be a birding trip we are both keen walkers and I've been given permission to take my bins and notebook in case we come across anything interesting on our walks. How can i...

    Overwintering birds

    Birding my local patch yesterday I found an overwintering chiffchaff in with a mixed tit flock. This got me thinking, what is it that makes a bird overwinter instead of taking on the migration? Is it a forward planning decision (if birds are capable of this) or does the instinct to fly south...

    Is this BoP a Snail Kite? Not good enough with hummers to even take a guess. Your help appreciated.
