Stunning photo of the Red Kite and rainbow, Eric. I think your gull may be a Black-headed Gull in winter plumage but don't take my word for it as gull identification is not my strong point. Better wait for Dave to confirm.

A great selection of photos Eric, the Belgian Bantams are beautiful and very unusual :cool1:

:yes: I agree with Ann about the Gull on the previous page being a Black headed Gull and I think your Little Gull in post 25 is the same too :cool:

You get some fantastic species visiting your garden. All I usually see in my garden is Crows, Magpies and Wood Pigeons.

Not exactly birds from the UK but I thought I would post a few I took in Calgary Zoo when visiting Mark. Unfortunately I can't put a name to the earlier ones.

Thanks everyone.

Julie, that strange blue bird you comment on must have the tiniest brain in the bird kingdom!
