Three small shorebirds form a confusing group which shares the same habitats. With similar markings of brown and white in winter and immaturity, and black breast-bands while breeding, they can often match each other at any age and season, and are frequently silent, even when flushed – they can pose a year-round conundrum.
Andy Stoddart comes to your assistance.
Adult Ringed Plover (Snæfellnes peninsula, Iceland, 17 June 2016). This portrait of a Ringed Plover shows off its suite of distinctive characters to perfection – a rather dumpy shape with a large rounded head, a short, stout, almost bulbous bill, prominent black-and-white markings on the head, a broad black breast-band, bright orange legs and an orange bill with a black tip. Birds like this are striking, attractive and easy to identify (Robin Chittenden). ....

Three Cardueline finches can be seen throughout much of Britain and Ireland, but numbers of each are in decline, with all three Red-listed as Birds of Conservation Concern, so seeing any of them will brighten up a day s birding. They can appear confusingly similar – small, brown and streaky. Breeding males are the most distinctive, but other plumages are much trickier.
Andy Stoddart provides all the information and advice you need to recognise each in the field, in all plumages.
Male Common Linnet (Norderney, Germany, 25 June 2011). It is little wonder that the small finches have always been popular cagebirds. With its brilliant red forehead and breast and rich russet upperparts, this male Common Linnet is indeed a thing of beauty (Stefan Pfützke / www.green-lens.de). ....

Michael Fry: Did the famed philosopher David Hume truly hold racist views?


IT’S almost getting to the point where the editor of The National could appoint a Statues Correspondent to cover all the stories that arise from the Scottish habit of generating genius, whether in science or philosophy, and then trying to make the fame eternal.
It’s something of a contradiction in terms. If a man was that much of a genius, then he doesn’t really need a commemorative image of himself, does he? After all, there was, till 2008, not a single statue of Adam Smith in the land of his birth.
From here to Stanford, California, in one direction, or to Tokyo in the other, public monuments of various kinds had been erected to the great man’s ideas and achievements. But in the 200-odd years since his death, nobody in the place he knew best had thought it worth the effort of setting him in stone. ....
