    Beautiful ducks in the UK

    Here is a photo of said tattoo, it was quite fresh when this was taken, but it's not the best lighting for a new photo at the moment. I also recently had a puffin tattooed on me, after totally falling in love with them while visiting Skomer 😍

    I've just had a tattoo cover-up done based upon a mandarin duck, and it's beautiful.

    Lovely photo! I've been seeing a few of these near me in North Bristol suburbs, sometimes in residential areas hopping on the pavement. They're lovely

    Teal? (Norfolk UK today 18/02)

    Great info - even though I'm not OP, this is handy. Female Gadwall, teal and mallard can be quite similar in certain views - to me anyway!! Im far from a fountain of bird knowledge- so thanks for the tips on what to look for 👍

    Teal? (Norfolk UK today 18/02)

    Could this be a Gadwall? I'm not an expert, but I happened to be looking at them earlier and it looks similar

    Do you know, a pheasant never even occurred to me ha! I'm not at all an expert. But I was hoping for some fantastic find lol. Still- they were very pretty feathers!

    Amazing!! I saw a Goosander today, too! But I only had my phone camera and was gutted!! I got a photo, but it sucks. These photos are amazing and really make the colours stand out

    Potential Goosander? UK

    Thank you very much!! I don't think I've ever seen a Merganser either! I best get back out hiking ;) - not that I need another reason!

    Feather identification - UK

    Hi all, I have a photo of some feathers I found. I've no idea to whom they belong (species wise, of course)! Thanks

    Beautiful ducks in the UK

    I always enjoy watching mallards 🤷‍♀️, I like their noises. That being said - I absolutely love that wood duck, how stunning!! And of course Mandarins and Teals are also beautiful

    Potential Goosander? UK

    Hey, I was lucky enough to see this duck today on my hike! I THINK it is a Goosander? I've never seen a duck like this, I'm not an avid birdwatcher, but I do very much enjoy seeing new (to me) species randomly. I didn't get a fantastic photo, as I only had my phone today and the duck was quite...

    Help with ID-ing a Bird of Prey please!

    Thank you!! 😊, much appreciated. And - I really didn't know that buzzards' plumage varies in shades so much! I think that is what threw me slightly, I could not see an image anywhere which matched the bird I saw, but thank you for the information, I will bear jt in mind when I go on my hikes...

    Help with ID-ing a Bird of Prey please!

    Thank you!! I was trying to compare it with the illustrations in my RSPB book, but the buzzard didn't seem to match properly, yet nor did any other of their images. Thanks for clarifying and the future buzzard spotting advice, appreciated 👍

    Help with ID-ing a Bird of Prey please!

    Hi everyone! I was out on my walk today, in Pensford near Bristol & Bath. I saw a bird and thought he must be either a red kite or buzzard because they're very common here, I got home and got out my RSPB book, but I cannot work out what it was!! I am VERY very new to this, so please don't...

    New Fancy - Forest of Dean

    Hello everyone!! I have just signed up to ask your (far more informed!) Opinions on what juvenile BoP I saw whilst driving to Beechenhurst Lodge... It was flying very low, literally right in front of our windscreen, it was brown with slightly spotted underwing (tentative on this, it was a quick...
