Bruce Archer and myself saw what looked like a female tufty x scaup on Grove Lake a few months ago. I think I might have put an email about it on here a few...
Marek re: website request Not sure exactly what you mean. If, for instance, I am G Brookes (finder of 17 bean geese) do I have to submit a description? They...
Hi all, I've read a few reviews of The Sound Approach by Mark Constantine, which is seems to be an innovative book + CDs about bird sounds. Has anyone on this...
I should have made this clearer. This is just to give everybody an opportunity to "claim" a find, or if you're the only observer to provide a description. ...

Hi All, On the Berksbirds website there is often a report like there is today of a Little Owl seen in the 'usual tree' at Dorney Wetlands so can someone tell...

Walk east from Lake End Rd to about 50m before the first footbridge, look to your right and there is an obvious old (probably not long for this world!) tree....
... the 'usual tree' at Dorney Wetlands Annoying habit of some, I know! From the car park walk towards the bridges. Just as you reach the first bridge there is...
Hi All, Thanks for the many responses and as they were all rather quick, I am now taking the afternoon off from work, and I'm going to get the train up there...
This morning I was surprised to see a female Blackcap in the garden. It visited the Honeysuckle and then flew over to next door's Crab-apple. This is...
I have had both male and female blackcaps in my garden regularly ove the winter, but I have not seen them for a couple of weeks now! Cheers, Jacqui --...
Doesn't it feel great when your predictions turn out correct! Having not been to Moor Green much this year I hadn't seen how the new workings were looking but...
What are the guidelines regarding the reporting of potential rare breeding species on this site? I see that a Stone Curlew is being reported at Englefield -...
... Englefield is not a breeding site. All records from known breeding sites are withheld. The website places automatic blocks so you couldn't report a Stone...
Further to Hugh's story about the GSW and his aerial, I found one today trying hard to make a nest hole in a full size electricity pylon! Four times it drummed...
... So what happens with potential breeding sites, I guess they aren't blocked but are then by definition subject to disturbance. I don't have an axe to grind...

Hi Mike, ... A fairly random list of what I thought was a good idea at the time (loosely based on schedule one). ... LEO is very prone to disturbance hence...
In my experience of wondering around Berkshire and further afield, with a scope over my shoulder, I reckon about 70 percent of birders would keep the news of...
