Always get a little anxious at this time of year hoping to see these wonderful birds again.
Bertie, and his partner Beatrice have succeeded for a second year in bringing me the most gorgeous babies. Last year I only first saw the fledglings in July, so I was rather ecstatic to see these two younglings this week!
I saw four screaming and flying low earlier.
I thought I heard one the other day, but convinced myself it was too early :'D
Ive got a pair of Great Tits nesting in an owl watering can by my living room door, they dont seem worried by us and i can watch them from my chair.
I had originally thought it to be a Red Kite, but upon reflection, think it might be a type of Buzzard?
We've left the front garden to grow and the goldfinches are making the most of it.
Camera for birds
This might not be allowed on here but I do a fair amount of birdwatching and always try and take pictures with my phone but unless they're static and sub 3m away they never really come out that great. So have decided to get a camera and thought someone here might be able to help advise. I've tried googling but every site recommends different cameras and most of them are over £1000. If anyone has any recommendations for something under £500 potentially? I have zero camera knowledge or experience
... tweetering on the edge. Taken yesterday at NT Brockhampton in Herefordshire.
Absolutely gigantic bird - I presume a raven? Wingspan was huge.
Feel so privileged to see them this weekend for the first time ! Apologies for the low res photo. Thought it might be a fun game
I checked the trees, they ain't there bro.
Also, if they slept in trees why don't you see owls catchin z's in the daytime?
Seriously, it's like they go to another dimension.
what is this bird and..
…it looks like the wings have tags on them?
Has anyone heard a cuckoo this week in south west England or south Wales? If so, please could you let me know where you heard them?
First time (knowingly) sighting one, so would appreciate ID confirmation. Location: Kirriemuir.
