Guess the bird

Here is something special for You :eek:

It´s so new in Sweden that we are still discussing what we shall call it in Swedish :confused:

Got me on this one, looks like a Dove of some sort, but can't find anything close.:)

African Green-pigeon - Treron calvus ?

Well done Beryl, I think you have it.:)

If not very similar.
I have a book on fancy pigeons but that one isn't in it. Some of the breeding that has been done to Pigeons is outrageous

Sorry, close but not really what I was asking for:)

OK The is it ......Grey-cheeked Green Pigeon Treron griseicauda wallacei ?

A very close relative I think :)

Green-Pigeon Treron waalia gulbröstad grönduva :thumbsup:

I wasn't too fsr off then :)

This little beauty is called ? :)

Siberian Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita tristis ?

Njet :), it is not a Sibirian

Hmm, problem with these small warblers, they have very little to distinguish them.

This bird is a singer:thumbsup: ok so far so good :)

And there are a lot of different types

How abiout a Juvenile Barred warbler, Sylvia nisoria, not very common in Sweden and i don't think we see them in the UK.

Well done Rolf

Höksångare Sylvia nisoria

Good finding :thumbsup:

Here is a passing bird :)

Dunnlin- Calidris alpina ?

Calidris is OK but not Alpina :D

Stilt Sandpiper- Calidris himantopus ?

No, sorry ;)

Curlew Sandpiper-Calidris ferruginea ?

Sorry :014: but still a No.

How about a Knot - Calidris canutus?

That´s what I was waiting for :thumbsup:


Kustsnäppa Calidris canutus

So, what is this ??? :)

Not the clearest of pictures, but look like Reed Buntings to me, a male and a female.:) Emberiza schoeniclus.

Looks like you are correct Rolf

You usually find them in a place like this, and I think they are very happy to find a hiding place in the restaurant :)

Sävsparv Emberiza schoeniclus :thumbsup: Yes but of course !

Here is a nice picture of a ???:)

Crested Tit- Lophophanes cristatus ?

Almost ! but not exact :)

Could be called Parus cristatus, which is the old name.
