i was ready to turn off my camera when i noticed these just starting to argue over the Niger feeder so i managed a couple of pics, please remember these are taken with a compact camera so the quality isn`t top notch but still decent i think xxxx

Hi guys. I was walking back from work yesterday in the west London area and I heard a strange bird noise coming from a tall tree. I couldn't see the bird unfortunately, but I was hoping someone could identify it from the call! It sounded like a small frog/cricket, was calling in sets...

Hello, I'm new to bird watching (and this forum). It's great that you have seen so many Finch's. Today I'm quite confident that I saw appx 5 female Greenfinch's but also saw a much brighter full green / yellow bodied bird with yellow wing tips. In the book I referred to it shows...

Sorry that the photos below are quite small and poor quality, the light conditions were dim.

My second question for the day... Out recently at a local nature reserve, we were very excited to see - what for us was - a new bird of prey. We're used to seeing many birds of prey close up, but the only thing we're any good at identifying are kites, particularly since red kites hang around...

I was recently told this bird that appeared in my garden (on top of a dead pigeon!) was a Sparrowhawk rather than a Goshawk. I found it difficult to tell the difference when consulting a guide. How does one tell that this is definitely a Sparrowhawk? Thanks a lot.

i havent seen it because it keeps its distance. i heard it at various times throughout the year and the only noise it makes is like crack ooow can you help its baffled me. iv been on the various bird apps and still cant find it
