Guess the bird

[Chocky]

Merlin - Falco columbarius

[dig deep]

Sorry

It is not a good clear picture so it is rather hard to see what it is

[rolf]

Ok, I'll try for a Hobby - Falco subbuteo

[dig deep]

Sorry Rolf

[Chocky]

Gyrfalcon - falco rusticolus ?

or Gerfalcon

[dig deep]

That picture was very dull but on purpose

I think You all are very good in finding out my birds.

However here is a better one

[Chocky]

Orange-breasted Falcon - Falco deiroleucus ?

[dig deep]

No, it is not. I think this bird is very colorfull in that last picture but not always so.

[Chocky]

Red-footed Falcon - Falco vespertinus ?

[dig deep]

BINGO


Aftonfalk Falco vespertinus

[Chocky]

[dig deep]

Here is a beautiful bird

[Chocky]

Curlew- Numenius arquata

[dig deep]

Indeed it is


Storspov Numenius arquata

Well done !

[Chocky]

Thank you

[dig deep]

Now, this birds may be a problem for You all

Wish You Good Luck

[Chocky]

Pintail ducks Anas acuta ?

[Merlin]

Pink-footed Geese Anser brachyrhynchus.


Pete.

[Chocky]

I thought they looked like geese then changed my mind ( wel I am a woman)

[dig deep]

Well Pete got the family right but still not the the name of those birds.

So, it´s Anser allright

All I need now is the rest

[rolf]

How about Bean Goose - Anser fabalis

[dig deep]

Well, after some hesitation I decided to give You credit for that statement Rolf

In fact it they are : Tundrasädgås Anser fabalis rossicus

but I must admitt that it was close

[dig deep]

This next one will be easier I think

[rolf]

Well that beautiful little chap has to be a Bluethroat. Luscinia svecica

[dig deep]

Sure is Rolf Blåhake Luscinia svecica

Svecica sounds like sweden to me The name means Bluechin

Good looking bird !

[dig deep]

Here is a strange looking bird

[rolf]

Not many birds with that beak, methinks perhaps an Avocet - Recurvirostra avosetta.

[dig deep]

Dead right Rolf, that beak is not that common


Skärfläcka Recurvirostra avosetta , even the latin name speak about the beak

[dig deep]

Here is another beaky bird

[Chocky]

Bar-tailed Godwit- Limosa lapponica

[Merlin]

Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa.


Pete.

[Chocky]

I thought the Black -tail had a straight beak ? This one looks to have a curved beak but I'm not to well so I'm probably wrong

[dig deep]

Well, You are close both of You but no, this is a close relative.

[Chocky]

Black-Tailed Godwit, Håslövs Ängar ?

[dig deep]

Black-Tailed Godwit, Håslövs Ängar ?

What is Håslövs Ängar ???????

To me it looks like a place

[Chocky]

Yes. Probably where I saw him

[dig deep]

Besöksplats i Kristianstads Vattenrike

[dig deep]

Here it is, again

[Chocky]

Now it looks like a Spotted Redshank - Tringa erythropus ?

[dig deep]

It is a Limosa but what kind of Limosa ??
