Stjärtmes Aegithalos caudatus


Yes, a nice bird

Well done Pete

[dig deep]

This will be fun. Not that easy

[Chocky]

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus

Common kestrel - Simris

[dig deep]

Like I wrote, not that easy

So the answer is No, sorry

[rolf]

Could be a Juvenile Hobby - Falco subbuteo

[Chocky]

Or a Merlin- Falco columbarius

[Merlin]

Not 100% sure here 'dd' but will go for Goshawk Accipiter gentilis but may be too small for that, otherwise no second guess as I don't have one.


Pete.

[dig deep]

Well done Pete


Duvhök Accipiter gentilis

[dig deep]

Here is a special breed

[Chocky]

Female
Subscine antshrike-Thamnophilius doliatus ?

[rolf]

Nope, it's another of those pesky Nutcrackers Beryl, now which type is another matter.

I think Nutcracker*- Nucifraga caryocatactes

[Chocky]

Yes I realized after I had posted. It looked like an Antshike in my book . but as you say a Nutcracker.

[dig deep]

Yes Rolf, it is a Tjocknäbbad nötkråka Nucifraga caryocatactes caryocatactes

[dig deep]

Here is an easy one for You while I try to find a hard nut


Think I will start with a closeup of this bird, just to make it harder

[Chocky]

Goldcrest Regulus regulus ?

[dig deep]

No, if I showed the rest of the bird it would be much easier.

Especally the tail

[Chocky]

It could be a juvenile
Bearded tit- Panurus biarmicus
I suppose

[rolf]

Given the tail clue, it isn't a Redstart is it? Phoenicurus phoenicurus

[dig deep]

Good guess Rolf

But not right

I´ll better give You some more of that bird

[Merlin]

Red-flanked Bluetail Tarsiger cyanurus adult female.


Pete.

[dig deep]
