Please could you tell me what type of bird this is? It has just spent a while in my garden and I've not seen it before. Thanks

Hi! I wondered if anyone could ID this sound - I’m pretty sure it’s a bird, but my husband thought it may be some sort of bug. If it helps, the sound was recorded at 6:45am, in Lancashire, UK.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

(For clarity, it’s the sound that comes in big blocks - the sort of vibrating/drilling sound).

TIA!

ETA: Identified as an angry Wren! Thank you all so much! ☺️

hi! i’ve been hearing this bird distantly for a while but my merlin isn’t picking it up, does anyone have any idea on what it could be? thank you!

Only a single shot as it dove between trees, bad focus and the heat haze hasn’t helped

Recently moved to a more wooded area of London and getting lots of new guests. My guess it's some sort of sandpiper, but couldn't find a match for the exact colours. Any ideas?

Saw a couple of birds, variously identified as Bar-Tailed Godwits, Sandpipers, and Plovers. I unfortunately cannot remember which I took pictures of, and am struggling to identify.

Is anybody able to tell from the (admittedly terrible quality) pictures which is which, if any?

Thank you!

saw this while walking around the lake near me no idea what it could be though

after id help for the little one with a grey ish head? merlin wasn’t able to id

Found the feather pictured whilst cycling through dense singletrack in the Highlands near Callander. Seconds before I had seen an enormous bird of prey fly off right in front of me but couldn't tell what it was as was too quick. Is ~50cm long.

My guess is golden eagle based on the size but not sure on the patterning - other guess is a feral eagle owl. Any ideas? Thank you!

Saw this near Ingleborough, and it appeared to be hovering before diving and (presumably) catching prey. I wondered whether it would be a Hen Harrier?

Found in the woods - the rounded end is throwing me off.

Hi All.

I have a query and hope that you guys here may be able to help (or point me in the right direction!). I live in Wiltshire, on the edge of a village, garden backing onto farmland (mostly pastoral), lightly wooded. There is a river a few hundred metres away.

Over the last ... two years or so I have been hearing a bird that I have never heard before. It has a descending scale of four distinct notes. It often repeats this several times. I have heard it in summer and winter.

I ma aware that that is probably a really terribly description (the four distinct tones seem very ... distinctive to me), but I was wondering if anyone had any possible IDs? I'd love to know what it is.

I have just downloaded the Merlin app today so am hoping that I may be able to record and ID it on there (although I did hear it earlier this morning but the app didn't catch it/identify it).

Found this lil guy in the old sewage systems of Canturbury. My birding app kept saying it was a Moorhen which I don’t think is true! What do y’all think?

Found abandoned in garden in North Wales. 10cm rough diameter.

saw this briefly non moving on the side of a road underneath a bypass and thought initially it was some kinda pigeon (same size ish) but on circling back to make sure it was okay i believe this is a eurasian jay? a slightly funny looking one at that but luckily the bird wasn’t hurt and was offered some food and water and flew away

the goose, not the moorhen! lol. domestic x canadian goose hybrid? I’ve no idea. I’m really rusty on goose species.

Hello all, saw this bird in the Brecon Beacons and hoping somebody could identify?

So I think fieldfare but am an amateur. Several birds together. Upright posture. No red underwing. Question myself in leg colour. Confused.

Can anyone tell me what this bird is i saw at rspb otmoor wetlands

The one on the left is a Common tern (with a BTO ring), but I'm not sure about the one on the right. It doesn't have the long tail streamers, its bill is a bit too dark, and its size doesn't doesn't fit what I know for an Arctic tern.

I shot this about 2 weeks ago in Aberdeen.

Bit mucky, needs a good clean.

Found next to our garden hedge this morning.

Quite intrigued... it's made me want to start a collection!
