Male Blackcap on my feeder at Ruan Lanihorne this morning and while watching him, the Kingfisher came and perched in the Elder bush, would have got a great shot if it had turned round -

My garden is at Ruan Lanihorne. Its in two parts, a bit in front of the house then there is a road and then a grass bank down to the Ruan river which joins the Fal. I see a lot of birds from my kitchen including Grey Heron and Little Egrets. Carol -

Bird ID Hi all, Can you confirm that the small sparrow sized bird is a pipit of some kind. I think its a tree pipit. Would have got a far better photo if a car hadnt come along just as I was getting close to it. For your interest I had an Osprey fly across the bottom of my garden back in... -

Song Thrush? Hi all, I took the attached photo of what I thought was a song thrush but looking at the photo I'm not sure now. It did appear to be larger than I would have expected. Is the white circle by its beak a marking or a parasite? Carol -

So far, two pairs with seven young and another two pairs but haven't seen any young with them yet. I don't think the swans are sitting as they both spend too much time on the water. -

Chiffchafs Thanks Sam for the id on the linnet, there were four others that I had ided as linnets but wasn't 100% on that one. I'm still having trouble with the ids of chiffchaffs as they seem to vary quite a bit but today I took the attached photo of one but it had a different voice to what... -

Common Gull and ? With the high tides last week took a few pictures. I'm pretty sure the first one is a common gull even though the photo isn't the best but I did have a good look at it through the digiscope. The second photo I thought I had taken a picture of a redwing but when I loaded it... -

Ruan Lanihorne Not much out on the mud flats today. 1 grey heron and two canada geese by the bridge and a redshank in the river. 9 wigeon and a few seagulls to far out to make out exactly what they were. However I did see the attched two birds which I'm not too sure whether they are... -

I saw it just off the road on the salt marsh at Sett Bridge, Ruan Lanihorne. Several people have seen the photo and agree that it is a stoat, which is a first for me. -

Stoat or weasel Thanks for the id on the snipe. Saw it the following day and it was definately a snipe. I know its not a bird but can anyone tell me whether the attached is a stoat or a weasel. It was quite big and had a bushy tail. I think it is more likely to be a stoat. Also saw today... -

Hi all, Lots of redwings at Ruan today feeding on the berries. While watching them two small sparrow sized birds appeared, only managed to get the one photo but can you id what they were. Sorry the phot is pretty rubbish, I must learn how to use my camera properly! Carol -

Grey Wagtail? Hi all, I've just come back from my afternoon walk and this bird flew out into the road in front of me, took one look and flew off again. It's not like other Grey wagtails that I've seen here. The photos were pretty poor due to me being taken by surprise but it had the normal... -

Not a stoat but an otter Hi Dan, Been away up country for a few days but before I went, saw this otter at Sett Bridge, Ruan Lanihorne. Managed to get a photo but wasn't quick enough to get a good focus. Carol -

Help please Hi all, I saw this bird yesterday and again today. Yesterday I thought it was an ordinary pheasant with part of its tail missing but today I got a photo and a closer look and am now wondering whether it is somehting else. I've not seen any pheasant around here with such a large... -
