Hi everyone, whilst I'm "in the zone" , thought I'd clear up some more doubts, if you all would be oh-so-kind THANKS.

1) taken on 18th Agutust 2009- in my garden. What is this, a baby Sparrow? Has been eating too much or on steriods??


2) February 2010 - what is this bird??


3) during Snow fall- January 2010


4) January 2010 - during snow fall

Welcome to the forum!

Not to be offensive in any way, as I love people posting for ID's, but do you have a Field Guide at all? It's good to learn how to ID them yourself in the field (saves time on taking photos, uploading and waiting for an ID). Also helps when you can't photo a bird and never able to get it ID'd (so frustrating!)

I can recommend Collins Guide to British Birds:

Collins Bird Guide: The Most Complete Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe: Amazon.co.uk: Lars Svensson, Peter J. Grant, Killian Mullarney, Dan Zetterström, David Christie: Books

I'm not one of these people who get fed up of posters asking IDs, just if you're going to get into it more, it's good to have a book to help you ID yourself

Yes, I have a pocket guide. I won't post any more ID questions as I have other sources. Thanks for the help thus far.
Good luck to all!
