Well done Pete
Ths weeken will I be busyso I don´t know if I will be able to post any birds, still will try to sneak away
Here is the weekender.
Goldeneye - Bucephala clangula
Pretty name !
and, of course it was a : Knipa Bucephala clangula
Well done again !
Thank you
Well done with the Goldeneye Beryl......when do you expect to arrive in Lancaster for the party?
Pete.
Lol. Thanks Pete
Before the party, solve this ?.gif "Smile")
Looks like a very blurred Linnet Cris.
Party this weekend? Have a good one.
Yes Rolf it is a : Hämpling Carduelis cannabina
Fast as usual
A Sunday special for You
Song Thrush - Turdus philomelos ?
If not it's a Mistle Thrush - Turdus viscivorus
Could be a Pipit as well, Rock Pipit perhaps? Anthus petrosus
Yes I thought of a Pipit but his dot are to prominent .
Having said that you could be right
Yes 'pipit' Rolf but no time to guess at the moment so might 'lose' this one.
Pete.
Well, it is not a rock
Tree Pipit - Anthus trivialis ?
No, it is not a tree either
An outside bet here, How about an Olive-backed Pipit Anthus Hodgsoni (yunnanensis) not a particularly common Swedish visitor I would imagine.
Seen somr reports that this bird is seen rather often. Times are a changing even for an Siberian bird
Nice found Rolf
A new way to present a bird
Whooper Swan - Cygnus cygnus ?
Could be a bewick Swan - Cygnus columbianus
In Sweden we call it a singing swan
Sångsvan Cygnus cygnus
but I never heard one singing I must confess
Nice picture was it not ?
Well done Chocky
Yes . Very nice. Lovely. Swans are beautiful birds
Here is a new fresh question for You
Ahh, I know this one, it's a Water Rail, Rallus aquaticus, very difficult to photograph, here's my only attempt.
Nice one. Have never seen one these. Well done Rolf
Yours was a little bit blurred
but still it was a : Vattenrall Rallus aquaticus
So, what do we see here ??
Only one thing that can be, orangy brown body with black tale, Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea.
Yes but of course
Rostand Tadorna ferruginea
Yheuy are lovely.
The photo won't expand for me so I can't see it
Here is a new question: What is this ??
Double-crested Cormorant- Phalacrocorax auritus ?
Last edited by Chocky; 11-02-2009 at 10:09 PM. Reason: Spelling
Well, almost
Double Brasted Cormorant - Phalacrocorax lucidus ?
Close but not close enough
Could be just your bog standard Cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo, well if you can call a bird standard which looks like it doesn't belong in this epoch.
Well, this is a special breed
Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis
Before I leave for Riga I offer this question
It´s rather easy I think
