    Hi, long time reader, first time poster here!

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but:

    Can someone help me identify these species from Birdworld, Farnham, UK for me. Ive been making a person species sighted list and cannot work out what these guys are. I've so far been unlucky finding them on ZooTierListe.

    Thanks, and once again, sorry if this is the wrong place/not what these forums are designed for. Just wanted some 'expert' help so to speak :)

    The bulbul is a Hypsipetes leucocephalus

    The Owl looks like Spotted Eagle-owl, Bubo cinerascens.

    Thanks guys!

    Upon further inspection of Zootierliste I found that Birdworld has Asian Black Bulbul and African Spotted Eagle Owl. You're comments really helped! I have another one (might be quite tricky for you:))
    Would you say these are Edward's Pheasants or Salvadori's Pheasants? I am leaning towards the former as I think I can see a white crest on the male and the female seems too dull to be a Salvadori's.

    Thanks again!
