So, is this little gray bird hard to name ? :)
Gray Jay, Perisoreus canadensis, ?
Nice try Chocky but have to say No this time.
Gray Flycatcher - Empidonax wrightii
Well it looks like a juvenile Wheatear - Oenanthe oenanthe, so good they named it twice. :-rofl
I thought of the northern Wheatear but was torn between the two
So you are probably right Rolf :thumbsup:
In a way he is :) I think I have a special version but still will not argue with the owner :thumbsup:
Nunnestenskvätta Pied Wheatear Oenanthe pleschanka
Not much to argue about, is there :)
That's definitely a different species and I would imagine pretty rare in our locale, but the juveniles can look very similar.:)
Well, mon ami
Nothing to argue about :thumbsup:
Let us see if this will keep You busy for a while ?
Looks like a Black Kite - Milvus migrans Cris, but the image title is perhaps a little bit of a giveaway.;) :)
Well done Rolf :thumbsup:
Lol. It tells you at the bottom of the photo . It says B_k1
Yeah, You migth think that the letters give it away :) but No
It´s not that easy :D
It´s not a Black Kite......
Ahh, jumped too quickly there.:)
How about Marsh Harrier - Circus aeruginosus?
Yes, that was better :)
Brun kärrhök Western Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus :thumbsup:
Here is a new one ! Better one bird in the hand than 10 in the woods :thumbsup:
A very small picture, sorry about that !
Pallas's Leaf Warbler - Phylloscopus proregulus
Yes, well done :thumbsup:
Kungsfågelsångare Pallas´s Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus proregulus :)
Thanks. :) I love these little birds all of them
Good, so here is a new small bird !
It's Dunnock shaped, so I'm assuming part of the Accentor family.
One from the cold lands, Black-throated Accentor - Prunella atrogularis?
Have to agree with that Rolf :)
Me too !
That was fast
Svartstrupig järnsparv Black-throated Accentor Prunella atrogularis :thumbsup:
This bird has a very strange name in Swedish, let us see if You can find the Latin (and English) for it.
Restart- Falsterbo
or
RedstartPhoenicurus phoenicurus
Sorry Chocky :014:
No, it is not.....
:crying: Never mind I'll try again
Good, have a go then. :thumbsup:
I will upload a picture wher the Sun is not coloring the bird:thumbsup:
is it a
chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita ?
I reckon it's a Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe.:)
I recon you are right Rolf :thumbsup:
Yes it is !
Stenskvätta, rasen leucorhoa Greenland Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe leucorhoa :thumbsup:
As You can see this version is from Greenland :)
Here is a wellknown bird :)
How is the saying ? Better one bird in the hand then 10 in the woods? :thumbsup:
I don't think they say that, Crister, but maybe they should!:D
I'm going for Chiffchaff here - (Phylloscopus collybita, I think - though I'm not good at Linnaean names!:conf40:))
- But it will probably be 'the other one' anyway!;)
Going by it's Black legs I'd say you are right Catherine. :thumbsup:
It looks small but I can't tell the size of the hands
Well done :thumbsup: This version is a special one but, hey - who cares:)Quote:

So, let us see what You can say about this very "special" bird :)
BTW Catherine, no snow yet. We usually don´t have any before Christmas but then we have it for 2 looong months :eek:
I'll put my money on Great White Egret - Ardea alba modesta.
Have to agree with Rolf there :)
