It is not a Wagtail
Well, that explains it .... partly!:D
I think that the sun is making it harder for You to see the "real" bird:D
So, here it is again without the sun
Well that one's definitely a Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)...,
- but I still don't think the other one is..:conf40:
The grey and yellow bird in the pic looks much too long and slim :confused:
I am sure it is, it is the light that makes the difference and, perhaps , if You use a loooong tube :D
Any way
Björktrast Fieldfare Turdus pilaris:thumbsup:
Well done, and fast (like Thor) in a lightning!
At last Monday again - and tomorrow is Lucia when we celebrate that the dark age is over for this time - we celebrate the Queen of Light :thumbsup:
Definitely a Shrike, guessing at a Great Grey Shrike - Lanius excubitor.:)
Sure is :thumbsup:
Varfågel Great Grey Shrike Lanius excubitor
Good looking bird !
Got this bird for You all !:)
Looks like a female House Sparrow, Crister! - Passer domesticus
- and since I've found that the Swedish for it is 'gråsparv', I think I just may be right!:D
Well done, both in finding the bird and testing the translator :14:
Gråsparv House Sparrow Passer domesticus :thumbsup:
Not that common anymore, used to call them the flying rats :eek:
Time for a Friday bird !
Amazing owl, Great Grey Owl, Strix nebulosa.
Yes, we name it after Lapland here in Sweden
Lappuggla Great Grey Owl Strix nebulosa :thumbsup:
Our "real" name for the northern part of Sweden (and Finland) is Lappland - I wonder why You lost the P ????:D
We Brits don't like too many Ps.:)
A white Monday - we got snow so this bird will be fine !:thumbsup:
No, it is not faster :14: this thread is old:bang:
Well, I'll try 'Siberian Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita'
Although it's trying to look like something else there!;)
Hohoho said the man in red and white :-cwink
Sibirisk gransångare Siberian chiffchaff Phylloscopus collybita tristis :thumbsup:
Good finding !
Here is a nice picture of .......? :D
Well it looks like a buzzard perhaps a common Buzzard, Buteo Buteo?
Well done !
Ormvråk Common Buzzard Buteo buteo :thumbsup:
In Swedish it´s called Snake eater:D
A very "late" Monday bird
And a very late Monday reply.:) I'll have a punt at Pied Wheatear, first winter - Oenanthe pleschanka.
Better late than never :D
Nunnestenskvätta Pied Wheatear Oenanthe pleschanka
Well done as always.
(Strange that sometimes -like now - the smilies won´t work ??) using ie8
I'd never have guessed that one. It's such a beautiful bird!
The feather pattern reminds me of that of a Barn Owl. :)
Last bird for 2011 ?
well well well ?
Whitethroat? - Sylvia communis
Well, I'm trying hard!:)
well,well,well
That was better :D
Törnsångare Common Whitethroat Sylvia communis :thumbsup:
Well done !
At last - back to normal days :thumbsup: and, of course, a Monday bird !
Looks like a Brambling - Fringilla montifringilla. :)
Indeed !
Bergfink Brambling Fringilla montifringilla :thumbsup:
well done !
Here is a big bird !
Biggest we have here
Golden Eagle - Aquila chrysaetos ?
Although it looks a bit too dark for one...
I AM trying though!:)
Yes You do and it was a good try !
I just read in todays paper that this bird was found at a lake in Sweden called Tåkern. Not just one but 48!! That is a record and it shows that te bird is getting better and breading good !
It is the biggest bird we have here in Sweden, not compared with the steelbird :eek:
While thay counted this bird they also counted ducks and they found +1.200 :thumbsup:
Well, it doesn't look like a White-tailed Sea Eagle (which is listed as your largest raptor), so I'm going for
Steppe Eagle - Aquila nipalensis - which apparently ventures your way...
Now, I'm trying harder than Rolf, Crister!
ROLF, is it too hard for you too?;)
I think it's a juvenile of the one you think it doesn't look like Catherine.:)
OK, Crister. If it's a juvenile White-tailed (Sea) Eagle, can Rolf and I share the win?:D
