Guess the bird

[Chocky]

Your probably right there Rolf.
Thing is they are all so alike

[dig deep]

Anthus it is but the rest is wrong

[Chocky]

Rock Pipit- Anthus petrosus

[Merlin]

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.

[Chocky]

Rolf said Water Pipit but Dig said it wasn't
So it may well be a Rock pipit - Anthus petrosus

[sniper]

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 if not I would love to know.

[rolf]

You're looking at the wrong one sniper, look at the end of the page immediately before this.

[dig deep]

Like Chocky said, they are all alike

Good guessing from all of You but still not the right birdie

[Chocky]

Ok then it's a Tree Pipit- Anthus trivialis ?

[rolf]

Richard's Pipit - Anthus novaeseelandiae ?

[dig deep]

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

[Chocky]

We only have 4 pipits

[dig deep]

Here is a better picture I think.

[Chocky]

Tawney Pipit- Anthus campestris ?

[barnowl]

looks like a tree pipit, but i wouldnt put my lunch on it.

[dig deep]

We obnly have 4 pipits

In that case I can understand Your trouble in finding this one.

Well, I´ll give You the day and then I will spill the beans

[Chocky]

Richard's Pipit Anthus richardi

[rolf]

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.

[dig deep]

Good work Rolf !

No, it is not that common, last time I had a look there was 2 seen

In Swedish it is called Hedpiplärka

[Chocky]

Well done Rolf

[dig deep]

Here is another (hard ? ) nut for You

[rolf]

Ahh, that must be one of those Curlews. Well in fact three of them.

Numenius arquata

[Chocky]

Yes

Or a Wimbrel - Numenius phaeopus

[dig deep]

Well, it was not that easy my friends

[Merlin]

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.

[Chocky]

I can't see them properly are they geese?

[dig deep]

The picture is not the sharpest I´ve seen but on purpose

Usuallly You guys are too fast finding the bird

Here is a better pic !

[Chocky]

Black-tailed Godwit - Limosa limosa

[dig deep]

Yes, good work Chocky


Rödspov, rasen islandica Limosa limosa islandica

[dig deep]

Here is an easy one, it´s Friday

[rolf]

That looks like the Little Owl - Athene noctua - Minervauggla

[sniper]

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

[Chocky]

I thought of the Tengmalm's But it doesn't have a yellow beak

[Merlin]

Pygmy Owl Glaucidium passerinum


Pete.

[dig deep]

It is a little owl All right

But not what You have suggested

[Chocky]

Maybe there too big Barnowl Try making the longest side 1024

[Chocky]

Northern Hawk Owl - Surnia ulula

Northern Hawk Owl - Skanör

[dig deep]

Hökuggla Surnia ulula

Good finding Chocky

the Skanör is a place in Skåne, southern parts of Sweden

[Chocky]

Thank you

[dig deep]

So, for the weekend( I hope) what is this bird called ??
