Perhaps too easy ??
Sorry Cris, don't know why I didn't answer this, it is a Willow Tit, Poecile montanus.(used to be Parus montanus).
Sure is Rolf
Talltita Parus montanus
Think that this bird will be rather easy to name as well
Female Blackbird - Turdus merula ?
Yes, indeed Chocky
Koltrast Turdus merula
Thank you
So, what can this be ??
That's an Eider, Somateria mollissima, looks very streamlined, amazing looking birds.
Yep You just pipped me . Well done Rolf.
I have some photos some where
Yes it is Ejder Somateria mollissima
Very special looking bird
So, what could this be then ??
Coal tit - Periparus ater ?
No, it is not
I know. It might be a Rock Bunting - Emberiza cia ?
But I don't think so

Pretty sure it is a Coal Tit, but they changed the name, was Parus ater
I think it's a Coal tit But I don't wish to argue
When did they change the name ?
No idea Beryl, but my old DVD -ROM Guide to British Birds, has Parus, so it has not long been changed to Periparus ater.
You have us all guessing here Chris in saying its not a Coal Tit when in fact it is......I'm confused!
Pete.
I think the name was changed in 2008 from parus ater to Periparus ater
I wasn't aware of any name change for the Coal Tit......even more confused now!
Pete.
Yes The RSPB call it Periparus ater The RSPB: Coal tit
And the BTO call it Parus ater Coal Tit
According to Wikipedia Coal Tit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it was changed . But I can't understand what I'mreading
Well, it aint easy as I search for the Latin name
If they change it then we all get confused
Here we go : Svartmes Parus ater
so coal was the right way to go
Yep . Coal tit now called Periparus ater
In Sweden it is called Coal Tit - parus ater Svartmes
Let us hope than that this bird still has the same name
Looks a bit like a first winter Moorhen perhaps Gallina chloropus.
Great it still has it´s name
Rörhöna Gallinula chloropus, well done
OK, here is an easy one, for a Friday
Canada Goose- Branta canadensis ?
Yep, indeed
Kanada Gås is the swedish name
Looking at wrong page obviously! Sorry!
