Your probably right there Rolf.
Thing is they are all so alike
Anthus it is but the rest is wrong:conf40:
Rock Pipit- Anthus petrosus
This is tricky......very tricky. Will be interesting to see what 'dd' comes up with here but I'm inclined to ID this as Water Pipit but have a distinct feeling 'dd' is going to pronounce it as a Rock Pipit.
I'm editing my post now because this bird is a WATER PIPIT.
Pete.
Rolf said Water Pipit but Dig said it wasn't
So it may well be a Rock pipit - Anthus petrosus
Has anyone guessed what bird this is? I see it has been on for over a month. I think it may be a juv. Grey Plover Pluvialis squatarola :conf40: if not I would love to know.
You're looking at the wrong one sniper, look at the end of the page immediately before this. :)
Like Chocky said, they are all alike :)
Good guessing from all of You but still not the right birdie :eek:
Ok then it's a Tree Pipit- Anthus trivialis ?
Richard's Pipit - Anthus novaeseelandiae ?
I´ll see if I can get a better picture of this bird.
So far You haven´t been more than close:) yet not right:conf40:
We only have 4 pipits
Here is a better picture I think.
Tawney Pipit- Anthus campestris ?
looks like a tree pipit, but i wouldnt put my lunch on it.:)
Richard's Pipit Anthus richardi
There aren't many left, so the only other one I can think of, but pretty sure we only get here as a rare vagrant is the Buff-Bellied Pipit - Anthus rubescens. wouldn't have thought it was particularly common in Sweden either. :)
Good work Rolf ! :thumbsup:
No, it is not that common, last time I had a look there was 2 seen:)
In Swedish it is called Hedpiplärka;)
Well done Rolf :) :thumbsup:
Here is another (hard ? ) nut for You:)
Ahh, that must be one of those Curlews. :) Well in fact three of them. :)
Numenius arquata
Yes
Or a Wimbrel - Numenius phaeopus
Well, it was not that easy my friends :)
:conf40:
I'm passing on this one 'dd' too obscure though the two on the ground are Curlew as Rolf said but obviously not the one on the wing.
Pete.
I can't see them properly are they geese?
The picture is not the sharpest I´ve seen :) but on purpose
Usuallly You guys are too fast finding the bird :D
Here is a better pic !
Black-tailed Godwit - Limosa limosa
Yes, good work Chocky :thumbsup:
Rödspov, rasen islandica Limosa limosa islandica
Here is an easy one, it´s Friday;)
That looks like the Little Owl - Athene noctua - Minervauggla
Hi, can I be a tad daring and suggest Tengmalm's...........no ,,:( I think rolf is probably right, I have never seen a Tengmalm's so it's wishful thinking :014:
I thought of the Tengmalm's But it doesn't have a yellow beak
Pygmy Owl Glaucidium passerinum
Pete.
It is a little owl All right :)
But not what You have suggested :conf40:
Maybe there too big Barnowl Try making the longest side 1024
Northern Hawk Owl - Surnia ulula
Northern Hawk Owl - Skanör
Hökuggla Surnia ulula
Good finding Chocky
the Skanör is a place in Skåne, southern parts of Sweden:)
:acclaim: Thank you :)
So, for the weekend( I hope) what is this bird called ??
