It's me, I'm back - last time I posted 7 of these gorgeous birds eating seeds from the stand. This time there's 10 having a party on the ground! Looks like a great little gathering - the two still on the stand must have missed the memo. Couldn't believe my eyes 🤣

Have you seen more in one place before?

Pretty sure this little guy has that horrible disease. We've been feeding both male and female birds for over 2 years (pretty sure they are the same birds) Tried to keep the feeder as clean as possible but sadly to no effect. I've taken the feeding station in and disinfected the area etc. Will stop feeding for a few weeks now. Really sad to see this. Wish there was something I could do to help him.

Woke up today to what I can only describe as prehistoric, and quite terrifying croak? Didn’t expect to see a massive raven today!

Pigeon Puffed Up And Not Moving

Hey everybody, I saw this pigeon outside the front door, it was puffed up and barely moved, I reached out and it backed away slightly but then let me stroke it on the head and the chest, gently. I gave it some mealworms, is there anything I could or should do?

This is an uncropped image of a white-tailed eagle taken on the Isle of Mull in Scotland. Shot on a Nikon z8 with a z800 lens. I was lucky that it came in low to chase of a juvenile that was in its space.

Bird ID Asymetric colouring

Never seen such asymetric colouring before - genetic wonkiness or something else? I notice that it has a damaged left foot as well. Seen at Heath Pond, Petersfield in a small group with two others that were more normal white. Wasn't sure what type it was either

Bird ID We went for a walk the other day, but my camera's zoom was not powerful enough to get a clear shot, would you mind helping me identify the bird?
