the HALL of EINAR – recent comments

  • Sally Hallam on Performing background checksI prefer the grey background. Both the bird and the moss show up better.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on How many notes in a call?It's only the males which make the familiar call. The females still call, but it's a bubbling, gurgling sound which is totally different!
  • adriancanadriancouk on How many notes in a call?We're hearing the cuckoos now in the SW Cambridgeshire countryside. Didn't know the females were mute, though!
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Red Kite huntingThanks very much Colin. If you're in the UK they're most likely to be Red Kites, but Black Kites are regular visitors in April and May as they migrate through.
  • Colin on Red Kite huntingSome pretty amazing pictures! I like to watch the quite numerous buzzards, red and black kites around where I live, but am never really sure if the kites are red or black.....
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Spectacular StarlingYes, the UK breeding population of Starlings declining by 82% between 1970 and 2022. That's a collapse.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Are these the most northerly cliff-nesting House Martins in the UK?Thanks Bernard - it's always a thrill to find how common species associated with humans lived before we took over the natural world. I don't know about natural Barn Swallow nests - I'll have to...
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Are these the most northerly cliff-nesting House Martins in the UK?That's great Ben - thanks for letting me know.
  • Ben on Are these the most northerly cliff-nesting House Martins in the UK?Also known to cliff nest Ballard Down, Swanage, Dorset.
