I find if I start looking I start seeing birds, if that makes sense!

Keep an eye out and let see what happens!

Do you live in a house or flat?

Why are there so many dead seagulls?

I live in a house, and I REALLY don't know why there are so many dead birds. I just see a bunch of feathers outside
Seoul Station, I guess people removed the bodies....poor things..

Ok - if you have a little garden, or a quiet spot, stick up a bird feeder with some bird seed and see what develops. If you have a tree this is a good spot, as birds often like to "queue" on a branch for a feeder!

If you want to make one there are plenty of plans on the Internet.

You can also make a feeder that is Dove or Pigeon proof as well. But initially any feeder will probably do.

Millet makes a good general feed for starters. And a dish with a little fruit.

My dream is having a garden of my own, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a garden here......In the UK nearly everyone has a garden, and I really enjoyed playing cricket with my friend in the garden. We often hit the ball over the fence, but never mind, another friend was always next door!!!!

Well, it was unusual, but Sunday was the northern migration of buzzards. I've seen them in a massive group heading south for the winter a couple times, but this was the first time I saw the large group heading north.

Saw this little fellow near my house today.

Cool! Were you able to tell what it was?

Is it a Korean/Oriental Magpie?

[N96HBK]

I think it's a Eurasian magpie.

I saw even more magpies at the zoo!!! I think magpies are beautifully coloured.

I think you are right!

The one I found is this.........

It has a prominent blue streak on the side (which would be the "decider" for this bird), but I could not see this colour in your photo.
