    I've never seen these green guys before, very slimy look and feel. Anyone know what they are? (euro coin to give idea of size)

    New birdy at Boora today, and I'm thinking it's a Peregrine?

    Nice shot of the peregrine
    Supposed to be a few of them around boora
    You may spot them chasin sandpipers and local gulls
    They'd be great shots to get so keep an eye on the sandpipers reactions
    Great shot

    I don't spend a lot of time sitting at any of the wetlands, but I don't think they're that regular there. I remember asking one of the gamekeepers last year about them, and he said they only come in now and again.

    This fella was at my usual spot out at the Partridge habitat. I had seen it in the distance being chased by the crows, and thought it was a Marsh Harrier. When I went down looking for it, I flushed it out from the ground, which I thought it was surprising.

    Its a Long Tailed Tit.
    It might come to feeders but I don't know what it would eat from a feeder.

    They hang around in numbers normally just pass through quickly.

    Some Sika Deer on Camaderry Mountain near Glendalough. The Stag in the first shot actually stood his ground and at one stage advanced towards me throwing ferns and grass up in the air.

    Whatever this is, I am 99% sure it is not a Peregrine - it just looks too "powerful" for that species. Also, the face appears to be too white and the black facial stripe a bit too narrow for that species. I would guess it is either Lanner or Saker Falcon or some exotic hybrid involving those species. The closest to the above bird I could find is this:

    Probably a good idea to post the pics in somewhere like Birdforum to get a positive ID.
