Thank you so much for the mention. I absolutely know what you mean about identifying birds of prey – and it’s always better to be under- rather than over-confident, I reckon.
I often catch myself asserting a bird or tree identification in my Detail Diary because it’s more poetic and concrete to have a specific name and I’m reasonably confident, only to look it up later and be totally wrong. It’s true, no one would know, but it’s probably a bad habit to offhandedly categorize like that.
Have you seen the app called Merlin, in which you can record and identify bird sounds? Someone showed it to me on Friday and I've been obsessed with it since then!
