An American robin in full song. Bigger than the European robin, the North American robin is related to the blackbird and thrush.

Second is a Liver Bird in flight, the only one ever photographed, honest. Trust me, I'm a Scouser. :)

Hi Shy
Great pic of the woodpecker but are you sure that Liver Bird isn't a turkey? :)

This cheeky little blighter was trotting about between the windows of a café we called to in Durness waiting for someone to open the window and chuck it a bit of food. Except when anyone did, another 10 of them swooped down out of nowhere and nicked it :unibrow:

Baztop, the heron is one of my favourite birds. I have one I see looking for food on the river by me, sometimes. Smashing photos mate, I,ll stash them in my favs.:)
Iain, another cracker bird, great photos mate specially the wings outspread one. brill.:)
Took these while I was away too in a little place called Lochinver, a fairly busy fishing port. In the trees at the back of the port were about 30 Heron nests. We could see this one quite easily from the path below without disturbing them - a few young ones poked their heads out and stretched their wings from time to time but they hadn't yet started flying. A couple of adults were circling around from time to time and landing on the tops of the trees - how such a big bird can land on a tiny branch without it even swaying I don't know. The tourist info centre had a camera near one of the nests too so you could go in and see them close up.

Nice ones Iain, who,s the ugly one Steven?lol:)
Thanks Steven, Barry & Chippie. It's a fantastic region for seeing wildlife. Apart from the sheep you see everywhere anyway, I've seen deer at close range, grouse, herons, cormorants, all sorts of birds I don't know the names of, seals, otters, even minke whales. A shame they often appear and vanish again too quick to get my camera out.
Maybe one of you ornithologists could identify this one for me... I think it's a grouse but I dunno.
Looks like he's contemplating life too :unibrow:

In my great wisdom and several minutes as a bald headed eagle watcher, I, d say it looked like a grouse too, mate:shock:
You sound more qualified than me at least... I identified it from the thing that waddles about on the Famous Grouse adverts :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

06-25-2007, 06:45 PM
Hi Iain
I am no expert but Google appears to show that, going by the red on its head, it is probably a Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus) aka Willow Grouse or Willow Ptarmigan. See
http://www.arthurgrosset.com/europebirds/redgrouse.html
All the best

Dare I mention it here (or another row will break out ) .. (only joking folks!) Ha!! - - there were letters in the Echo for and against pigeons.
Some people don't like them and they say they are like vermin.
I don't have a problem with pigeons and I think people get a bit hysterical over nothing.

Great photographs here, everyone! :handclap:
Steven, one of my favorite pieces of music is "The White Peacock" by American classical composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes, and your nice photo of a white peacock reminded me of it. It's an impressionistic piece inspired by a poem by Fiona Macleod, which was actually the pen name of a late Victorian male writer, William Sharp (http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/sharp/sospiri.html). I know, kinky! But Tomlinson's work is a lovely piece of music. The poem that inspired it reads in part:
Here, as the breath, as the soul of this beauty
White as a cloud through the heats of the noontide
Moves the White Peacock.

I think that,s a cracker photo Teal, brilliant.
I was sitting here about five o,clock last night watching a male pheasant jumping up and down at a tree. Can,t see any berries on it (the tree that is) and he hid in the tree when people were passing. I was wondering if he lives there but frightened to go and have a look in case I scare him off.

This one's a young Robin; seems to be moulting to adult already (faint 'red breast' appearing) so probably born early in the season.
The yellow colour of the Blue t1t in the third pic is typical of a recent fledgling!

08-30-2008, 10:17 PM
I thought so but wasn't sure on the barn owl.The back of the barn owl is mostly white so it must be a young.? My brother used to own a European eagle owl. Huge monster of a bird. Very heavy too.
I have flown Sparrowhawks,Redtails and Goshawks. Unfortunately one of my neighbours complained so I got rid my hawk just to keep the peace.
Keep them raptour pics coming Kerry:handclap:
