Hi everyone

I spotted this bird in clapham london, and friends of mine who are more into bird watching than me had trouble being sure of the identity. can anybody help?

I have another picture if needed, can you put up 2 at once? it doesn't seem to be letting me

This was seen two days ago in Perranporth, Cornwall. About the size of a Jackdaw, but what is it?

Northern Wheatear

With good numbers of Northern Wheatear passing through Rainham Marshes RSPB, it was quite easy to get a nice image of one.

This fabulous photograph was taken by a much better photographer than me, my brother-in-law Anthony. He gave me permission to share!

RSPB Buckenham, Marsh, Norfolk

3drews — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:56:49 GMT

With such a mild winter, booking an early morning RSPB walk on Buckenham marsh seem to be a safe bet when convincing the better half.

Unfortunately once booked I started to hear that February could have the sting in the tail of the winter months.

The sky and with it the atmosphere was constantly changing with occasional glimpses of the sun then dark menacing clouds all mixing with the mist making the frosty landscape come alive.

The birdlife also started to perform with flocks of Geese appearing out of the mist, Lapwings wheeling acrobatically above our heads.

The Golden Plovers flew lower and the noise of their collective wing beats added a sound track to the spectacle.

We had now been joined on the track by keen early morning birders many, our guide told us, looking for an elusive Lesser White Fronted Goose a rarity amongst its numerous White Fronted companions.

BBBAAAHHHHHHH

On the wing of a Red Kite

Ben5125 — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:03:00 GMT

This photo of a fantastic Red Kite was taken on a recent trip to Wales where they are currently striving and becoming and ever more common site across the UK. I managed to get on the wing of one of these 5 feet 7 inch wing spanned bird of prey, which created this photo. Amazing experience.

Bully for you

This little robin flew into the garden and my grandson held out his hand and it just came and sat on it. After a little while it just flew away. Ahhh!!!
