Guess the bird

[Chocky]

Have to agree with that. Well done Rolf

[dig deep]

Not too bad Rolf


Svarthalsad trast Turdus ruficollis atrogularis

I was hoping that You all should miss the black portion

[dig deep]

This is a happy bird

[Chocky]

Golden Eagle - Aquila chrysaetos ?

[dig deep]

No, it is not

[Chocky]

Whute headed Eagle- Haliaeetus leucocephalus

[dig deep]

I admitt that this is not an easy case

So, sorry but No !

[rolf]

Have you got a slightly more revealing photo Chris?

[Chocky]

Is it a Black Kite - Milvus migrans ?

[dig deep]

Well done Chocky

of course it is a Brun glada Milvus migrans

If You remember I said this was a happy bird ? Well Glada means happy in english

[rolf]

Well done Beryl, wouldn't have guessed Kite.

[Chocky]

Thank you .
kite was my first thought but I dimissed it because the tail didn't seam forked enough
Then after a 'birdie' and two 'eagles'
It has to be a Black Kite

[dig deep]

and then back to business

What is this ????

[Chocky]

Velvet Scoter- Melanitta fusca ?

[Merlin]

I could just say I agree with you Beryl but will go one further and say you are correct and well done. A good pic of one too.


Pete.

[dig deep]

Yes it is, both a nice picture and a : Svärta Melanitta fusca

[rolf]

No, this is a velvet scooter. Vespus scootarius

[Chocky]

Lol . That's mod Riolf

[dig deep]

This bird is what we like to see here in Sweden at Hornborgasjön.

They will come in hundreds when the spring is here.

Dancing queen by Abba was meant for those birds.

[Chocky]

Demoiselle Crane, Anthropoides virgo,

[dig deep]

I think that the people around Hornbergasjön should be rather
surprised if that bird turned up

So , no

[Chocky]

Grey Crowned Crane - Balearica regulorum ?

[rolf]

Is it not a standard Crane, Grus grus?

[Chocky]

Probably

[dig deep]

Yes it is

Trana, grus grus

Nice birdie - telling us that spring is here

Nice finding Rolf

[Chocky]

Well done Rolf. I couldn't find it

[dig deep]

Here is a shy little bird

[Chocky]

Common Rocj Thrush - Monticola saxatilis ?

[rolf]

You're going in the right direction Beryl, but now I've looked them up, I reckon it's the Blue Rock Thrush - Monticola Solitarius, this bird matches the patterning much more closely.

[dig deep]

Blåtrast Monticola solitarius

Hmm You guys are good at this

[Chocky]

Well done Rolf

[dig deep]

So now I ask You all: What is this ???

[Chocky]

Goosander- Mergus merganser ?

[dig deep]

Yes Chocky, well done


Storskrake Mergus merganser

[Chocky]

Thank you

[dig deep]

So, what is this ??

[rolf]

That there is a Tree Sparrow, not too common in my area, Passer montanus.

[dig deep]

More common here I think, we got plenty of them


Pilfink Passer montanus

Again well done

[dig deep]

Well, I don´t think this make any troubles for You (but beware, it is a special brand )

[Chocky]

Snow Bunting- Plectrophenax nivalis ?
