Well done Rolf.
I did think of that one but couldn't see the crossed bill.
Here is a little fellow that is (looks like) freezing
That's a rare one Dig, well it is if I'm right in my identification.
Is it a Yellow-browed Bunting - Emberiza chrysophrys?
Yes Sir it is
a Gulbrynad sparv Emberiza chrysophrys
Poor one, sitting out in this cold weather
BTW it is more than rare - this is the first time it has been seen in Sweden. When the word about the bird spread over 400 birdwatchers got together just outside Stockholm, just to have a look at it. Reports tells that there where visitors from Denmark I was surprised that You know that bird Rolf.

Here is a more common bird
Ringneck Dove- Streptopelia risoria ?
Halfway there Chocky
It´s a dove allright but not a risoria
I reckon it's yer collared Dove. Streptopelia decaocto
Probably Rolf I wastorn between the two . The colour made me choose the Ring neck #
I'll go for the Ringneck - Streptopelia capicola ?
Well, it was Rolf that found the bird
It´s a Turkduva in Swedish
Well done Rolf
Here is an easy one for You
Mistle Thrush- urdus viscivorus ?

Indeed
Dubbeltrast Turdus viscivorus, nice bird !
Thank you
This is a well known bird
Looks like a.............. quail - Coturnix coturnix ?
I reckon it's more common and a Partridge. Perdix perdix.
Probably is Rolf. I can't really see it well enough. The colour made me think of Quail
Rapphöna Perdix perdix is what it is
Next one is a strange bird , well strange and strange, but not that common.
Looks like a Ring Ouzel Chris, not seen one myself, but it's on my list. Turdus torquatus
Stepping in before Chris again (sorry Chris) correct Rolf, a male.
Pete.
Yes to both of You
It is a Ringtrast Turdus torquatus and it is a male
Well done again.
From now on I might put up some not so common birds for You guys as I find You good in naming whatever I try.
Let us see if I can make You dizzy for a while.
Like this mighty bird
Golden Eagle - Aquila chrysaetos ?
No, this one is not golden
Well it isn't one we'd be likely to see anywhere in the UK, doing a little research comes up with the Lesser Spotted Eagle Aquila pomarina.
White-Tailed Eagle- Haliaeetus albicilla ?
Sorry but No. to both of You
How about the Spotted Eagle then? Aquila clanga?
That´s more like it
Större skrikörn (Aquila clanga)
There is a smaller Eagle in this family (
Mindre skrikörn (Aquila pomarina)
But this one was the bigger version, well done again Rolf
This time I am asking for the more colorfull bird in this picture
Well I can only find one Goose which looks like that, the Red-breasted Goose - Branta ruficollis. Not a regular visitor to the British Isles as far as I know, not that regular in Sweden either I would imagine.
I would say definitely Rolf.Well done
Yes it is (Rednecked Goose) Branta ruficollis Rödhalsad gås
We do have a few here, perhaps not common but still around
Now, what could this be ???
Marsh Sandpiper - Tringa stagnatilis ?
Well done Chocky !
Dammsnäppa Tringa stagnatilis
