Spot on Rolf
Sävsångare Acrocephalus schoenobaenus
OK, now I have this bird, wonder what it is ?
Brambling - Fringilla montifringilla ?
Good Chocky Spot on again !
Bergfink Fringilla montifringilla
Thank you
Well, to brigthen up the day I post this bird for You
Arctic Tern- Sterna paradisaea ?
A very good guess Chocky
It is from the same region but No, not what I wanted to read
Aleutian tern S. aleutica ?
Could be just a Common Tern, Sterna hirundo.
Well, it is not that commonand it is not a Stern
Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus
Pete.
So very close that they might be brothers
So, not exactly what I want
Ahh, just noticed the length of the tail, it looks like a Long-tailed Skua - Stercorarius longicaudus.
It was the tail for sure
Fjällabb Stercorarius longicaudus
Yes the tail. Serves me right I should have been more observant......some people never learn. Well done Rolf.
Pete.
Lol. I thought the tail was a part of what he was perched on
Well to be quite honest Pete, I wouldn't have even considered Skuas for the answer and it was only after your answer when I was really looking hard at the picture that I noticed the tail and then it became obvious.Originally Posted by Merlin
They are remarkably alike (Arctic/Long-tailed) as are a great many of the bird species, the most difficult being 'warblers' but I'm not making excuses Rolf.
Pete.
Time for a new bird
Black-tailed godwit - Limosa limosa ?
No, sorry to say
Dunlin - Calidris alpina ?
You are closing in
Looks like a Stint of the little variety.
Temmink's Stint calidris temminkii
Pete.
Just what I wanted Pete, well done
Mosnäppa Calidris temminckii
Find this picture, what could it be ??
Looks like it's my turn to be first in the queue again Chris......Turtle Dove Streptopelia turtur
Pete.
Well Pete that was a close shave
but it is not a Turtur
Europian Turtle Dove - Streptopelia turtur ?
Well its Oriental TD Streptopelia orientalis which I find amazing......well sort of amazing!
Pete.
I wasn't too far out then Pete.
Well done
No not at all too far out Beryl......good fun isn't it.
Pete.
Yes it is and builds one's knowledge too
Yes Pete, that it was
Större turturduva Streptopelia orientalis
Oh, by the way
This is not only for me ! We all can post a question here, asking for a birds full name.
I like it the way it is
This time I have a special bird for You
OK, I'll go for Turdus atrogularis Black-throated Thrush?
