    Hi, Would anyone be able to help identify this apparently unremarkable bird. There is nothing about it to use as an item for Searching. Please help. It was photographed in Monterey, California last month.

    Please could any sharp-eyed members possibly identify this. Unfortunately the pictures were taken from a moving train and are not of any quality. But despite all, if an id cold be ascertained, that would be brilliant. Many thanks, Iain the next photo two is an earlier shot

    Goose?

    Apologies for standard of photo. It was taken as a reaction, from many hundreds of yards distance, through a train carriage window. It looks like a goose with distinctive colours and was flying over Lake Namtso in Tibet. Many thanks to anyone who can help with an id.

    Six (not so little) geese

    This non digital original was taken in the Cairns area in 2001 and is therefore slightly worn. However am hoping that some knowledgeable person out there will be able to help in identifying the geese who seem to be enjoying lording it over the ducks in the water.

    Unperturbed heron bayed at by crow

    Shocked to look up from the computer to see the heron and then the unwelcoming rook/crow. Those black birds gang up on the heron and try to usher it out of their neighbourhood. This time, only the one doing its damnedest to frighten the bigger predator.

    (?) Booby cooling

    Pretty sure the bird ruffling its feathers and searching for cooling sand by shuffling its body, is a Booby. Unfortunately its posture hides the colour of the feet. Would anyone be able to identify which Booby from the rest of the features. Many thanks, Iain

    Identity help once again please

    Many thanks to those who identified the last photo as a Red-Billed Tropicbird. The tail on this bird seems to identify it also as a Tropicbird. However a red beak is missing. Would someone like to suggest the missing hue to the bill? Many thanks, Iain

    Heron on Coe Fen 1/3

    Walking home from across Coe Fen around 08:30, a lady cyclist pointed out to her daughter a heron walking around the edges of the field. Spotted it and wished the camera was around. Then remembered it was in the back-pack!

    Yellow Warbler

    Many thanks for all those that helped in the identification of the Grey Heron posted a week or so ago. This picture taken on the island of Espanola in the Galapagos in 2007. Would anyone have any idea as to the bird's identity? OK. Found it. A Yellow Warbler it is, as I sort of expect you all...
