robbo Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi all whilst I know there are a few tractor twitchers on here, I need a bit of help with identification of a bird that I saw in my garden this week, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 probably totally wrong but it looks like a very young coal tit to me??? will send a copy to mate at work who's into his birds big time, sure he will know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Could be a juvenile Dotterel Mike,see here, http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/d/dotterel/index.aspx Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Don't think so Joe, it was quite a small bird but slightly bigger than a sparrow but not quite as big as a Blackbird. Nearest I can find is a Wheatear http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/w/wheatear/index.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, it's a Wheatear. Page 91, The Observers Book of Birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
