Hey guys, it looks like you do not know much about identifying birds yet. How about writing in the Description field what you actually see and writing in the habitat field the actual habitat where you saw it. Leave the Common and Scientific name fields blank, since you are nearly always wrong, and tick the needs ID box. When we see it we will give you a suggestion from one of our experts so chances are that will be correct. You can then use that to put the correct data in.
