It’s nice to
know ‘real’ birding experts as friends, so if you make a mistake in identifying
different birds they can gently correct you ( real birders don’t ridicule you ).
I had made such a bo-bo. I had identified
a ‘Common Redpoll’ in my garden....guess what...it was a Lesser Redpoll.
I had sent some sightings and a photo of the said bird to the East London Bird
Forum ( ELBF) who record local sightings. These were published on their
website, but Howard Vaughan (real expert) who administers the site corrected
the I.D. before publishing....phew, doesn’t made me look such a Blue tit.....Thanks Howard.
Check out the ELBF site...great for upto date local sightings.
