Here's a little Entry about another of my favourite birds - always a delight to see one hovering nearby.

Very nice. I had to look up the American ones - they're cute as buttons, the size of mourning doves.

Good Entry! We see them relatively often here.

Thanks both

I added a footnote to help people visualise their size

Thanks for this, Sasha

I approve of Chris Packham too and love Springwatch/Autumnwatch/Winterwatch (why isn't there a Summerwatch?)

Thanks GB

Good point about Springwatch etc! Summer is quite a quiet time for wildlife, eg many birds go into 'eclipse' and can't fly while they are growing new feathers, so I guess that's why there isn't a Summerwatch. Amazing what can be seen if you're looking out for things, though - I enjoyed watching dragonflies and butterflies last weekend, as the weather was warm so they were very active

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congratulations!

Thanks everyone
