Better hide than run is a good advice to any mouse !
A more friendly bird (at least if You are a mouse)
Morning, time to react
LOL, thought I'd actually replied, must have become side tracked.
Think it's a female Lesser Scaup, Aythya affinis.
Close shot Rolf but not that close
OK, how about a Scaup, Aythya marila. Unless of course it's a young Tufty with no tuft showing, Aythya fuligula.
That´s more like it
Bergand Aythya marila
<Here is Another Beauty for You
Lovely bird, water Rail, Rallus aquaticus.
Yes, a nice bird indeed
Vattenrall Rallus aquaticus
This next bird was reported heard last week, from two places in the Stockholm area
Looks to me like a Skylark, will be off to France next weekend to see lots of them, Alauda arvensis.
Hope You can hear a few of them as well
Sånglärka Alauda arvensis
Sorry about the camera
Perhaps better just look at the birds ??
Like this one.....
Eurasian Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris)
Sorry ArthuR, missed Your post
Trädkrypare Certhia familiaris is what it was, well done and welcome to the game.
Let us start the Autum session with an easy one
Marsh Tit? (Oh, I know it will be the other one now.........)
So do I
OK then... Willow Tit?
Please say it is - to boost my confidence in ID'ing again!
Sorry, no boosting
Think it must be a specialist group of Willow Tits from your area Cris, perhaps Parus Salicarius?
Couldn't see any dark 'beard' on it, but looked like one of the two I mentioned otherwise. Does the sub-species(?) you mentioned have that patch. Rolf?
I think so Catherine, but some are lighter than others and the cold climate ones may have less of a bib.
Actually it is a mountain bird
Talltita Parus montanus
Very common I must say, at least here in the North
Here is a week-ender
Going to try Hobby - Falco subbuteo
- (That is a bird of prey which plays table football I think!)
Well, if so - it is offside
