Guess the bird

:band::-party Well done Pete

Ths weeken will I be busy:confused: so I don´t know if I will be able to post any birds, still will try to sneak away:)


Here is the weekender.

Goldeneye - Bucephala clangula

Pretty name !
and, of course it was a : Knipa Bucephala clangula

Well done again ! :thumbsup:

Thank you :-excited

Well done with the Goldeneye Beryl......when do you expect to arrive in Lancaster for the party?


Pete.

Lol. Thanks Pete

Before the party, solve this ?:)

Looks like a very blurred Linnet Cris.:) Carduelis cannabina.

Party this weekend? Have a good one.:)

Yes Rolf it is a : Hämpling Carduelis cannabina

Fast as usual :thumbsup:

A Sunday special for You :)

Song Thrush - Turdus philomelos ?

If not it's a Mistle Thrush - Turdus viscivorus

Could be a Pipit as well, Rock Pipit perhaps? Anthus petrosus

Yes I thought of a Pipit but his dot are to prominent .
Having said that you could be right :)

Yes 'pipit' Rolf but no time to guess at the moment so might 'lose' this one.


Pete.

Well, it is not a rock :thumbsup:

Tree Pipit - Anthus trivialis ?

No, it is not a tree either :)

An outside bet here, How about an Olive-backed Pipit Anthus Hodgsoni (yunnanensis) not a particularly common Swedish visitor I would imagine.:) It does have the facial characteristics of your picture though.

:thumbsup: Sibirisk piplärka Anthus hodgsoni

Seen somr reports that this bird is seen rather often. Times are a changing even for an Siberian bird :)

Nice found Rolf :thumbsup:

A new way to present a bird :)

Whooper Swan - Cygnus cygnus ?

Could be a bewick Swan - Cygnus columbianus

In Sweden we call it a singing swan

Sångsvan Cygnus cygnus

but I never heard one singing I must confess

Nice picture was it not ?

Well done Chocky :thumbsup:

Yes . Very nice. Lovely. Swans are beautiful birds

Here is a new fresh question for You :thumbsup:

Ahh, I know this one, it's a Water Rail, Rallus aquaticus, very difficult to photograph, here's my only attempt.:)

Nice one. Have never seen one these. Well done Rolf :)

Yours was a little bit blurred:)
but still it was a : Vattenrall Rallus aquaticus :thumbsup:

So, what do we see here ?? :)

Only one thing that can be, orangy brown body with black tale, Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea.:)

Yes but of course :) a very good looking bird I say :thumbsup:


Rostand Tadorna ferruginea

Yheuy are lovely.
The photo won't expand for me so I can't see it

Here is a new question: What is this ??

Double-crested Cormorant- Phalacrocorax auritus ?

Well, almost :)

Double Brasted Cormorant - Phalacrocorax lucidus ?

Close but not close enough :conf40::eek:

Could be just your bog standard Cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo, well if you can call a bird standard which looks like it doesn't belong in this epoch.:)

Well, this is a special breed :) but still accepted :thumbsup:


Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis :eek:

Before I leave for Riga I offer this question
It´s rather easy I think :)
