Red Billed Leiothrix

So-  they are here and may prove to be a pest species- Robins watch out!

Are they the next Ring Necked Parakeet or the next Ruddy duck?

For advice about Birding, Identification,field guides,  binoculars, scopes, tripods,  etc - put 'Birding Tips'   into the search box

  • The only Pekin "robins"  I've ever seen have been at London and Chester Zoo but with more people breeding birds for sale are we going to see other species of captive bred non UK birds released (accidentally or deliberately) and causing problems for our own native species ?   How closely are private breeders of birds monitored and licensed ?
