Mike Etheridge 1 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ulltimate, I do not recognise your last bird---it looks like a warbler.My bird book suggests it could be a rare 'Greenish Warbler' or a 'Wood Warbler' or even a 'Willow Warbler'.---ANYONE KNOW?

Seraph Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It's definitely a Phylloscopus warbler, either a willow warbler or a chiffchaff. Judging by the dark legs and the muted over all colouring I'd go for chiffchaff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erfolg Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I will start with my standard disclaimer, I am no photographer. My camera is not good for much. Yet more importantly, as stated earlier, I am no photographer. I guess a gull of some sort Now these birds cruised for miles, never flapping. When diving, I have never seen a bird drop quicker. As is usual the best close up picture of one attacking a sea gull, was wiped by me from the camera whilst editing. Quite awesome and so science fiction in an intimidating way to see. A Pelican being followed, by a couple of muggers Just pretty birds Looks like a crow, is it? Foreshore birds? local flying field. Due to the limitations of my camera I am considering purchasing a SLR type. In my case, not a top or middle range, but with a zoom, which can capture a picture quickly. \\my present camera does not do this, when pressing the shutter, is not necessarily the picture I get. The object can easily have moved out of frame. Any suggestions, oh and not expensive. Plus what I should be looking for. A RCM&E article maybe?

Ian Jones Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Well the photos are good enough for some identifications that I can help with: That's a Magnificent Frigate Bird and these are Caribbean(?) Turnstones this I believe is a Greater Antillean Grackle Don't really recognise the others, I think the two tone blue birds will be some kind of crow. I'm useless with gulls too.

Erfolg Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ian The two tone birds appear to be fruit eaters, I have a picture with one having taken a berry/fruit from a tree, in its beak. I missed a enormous hawk that flew over every day. Initially I thought it was a scavenger at first. That is until I saw it take a small bird. I then realised it could really move, as well as just loiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I used to go flying in Mid Wales, one day I was flying a small electric glider on the top of a hill, I had my plane hovering in the breeze ten feet above me, ten feet above that was a Red Kite investigating it!
