As we approached the central feature where all 4 paths met, 3 common gulls started making a lot of noise and started swooping down at us. A few...

    Woodcock behaviour question

    We live down a farm track through a wood. This evening there was a woodcock dabbling in a puddle in front of the car in the head lights. It was reluctant to move and was wiggling it's tail from side to side. Is this because it was afraid or was it being threatening towards us?

    Hello from Scotland

    I live near Elgin in Moray. I have always enjoyed feeding the birds in my garden and could spend hours watching their activities if I had the time. We have mostly garden/woodland birds but as we live near the coast I have become interested in the birds I see at the coast/estuaries. I was also...
