Wonder if You ever seen one of those birds ?
Wonder if You ever seen one of those birds ?
Hoopoe - Upupa epops ?
Nope I reckon it's a Grouse, perhaps a Hazel Grouse - Bonasa bonasia.
Lol. What is that on it's head. I thought only Hoopoes had some thing like that
Spose it could be a twig in the way. Not a good photo
Hazel Grouse have crests.The body looks too big for a normal bird, has to be a field bird of some sort. Hazel Grouse (Bonasa bonasia)
Yes I looked it up before. You are probably right.I haven't seen a Grouse (or a Hoopoe. Just the first thing I thought of) I'm sure you are right
I think you could be right on this one Rolf which I gave up on. I suppose a 'grouse' could take to the tree's but seems a little out of context to me, but as I say......I think you may be right.
Pete.
The eyes are a give-away
Good finding
Bonasa bonasia järpe.gif "Big Grin")
Find this bird, what could it be ??
Chaffchiff - Phylloscopus collybita
Sorry Chocky but No, it is not
I ´know that the picture is not the best
Female Chaffinch - Fringilla coelebs
No, it is not
Could be one of several Warblers, but these are probably one of the most difficult groups to tell apart.
OK. Garden Warbler - Sylvia borin ?
or
Water pipit- Anthus spinoletta

Well certainly a 'warbler' but without a search in my books my entry ends here......sorry.
Pete.
I better post a new picture for You all
Is this a 'new' pic of the same bird Chris? Whether or not it is this looks more like a 'flycatcher' but no more from me at the moment on this one.
Pete.
Ahh thanks Pete, hadn't considered Flycatcher, as I've never seen one.
Muscicapa striata
You beet me to it Rolf.
Well done
Don't want to sound like I took over this thread from Chris but not Spotted Flycatcher Beryl/Rolf. It's another one of those 'not one of ours' pics and at this point I don't know which one, plus no guarantee I'm right with the 'flycatcher' suggestion.
Pete.
Grey-streaked Flycatcher Grey-spotted Flycatcher -Muscicapa griseisticta
If we have no namechange
In Swedish a Gray Flychatcher - usually You see the black and white one !
Muscicapa striata Is the name Rolf gave and here it it the Spotted Spotted Flycatcher - Muscicapa striata
Where the Gray Flycatcher is Gray Flycatcher (Empidonax wrightii)
But I might be wrong
In Sweden it's called the Grey, the second one is North American.
Good, sorted - let us move on !
What is this (My guess is that You don´t see too many in real life
Is it a Snow Bunting - Plectrophenax nivalis ?
I think it's a Lapland Bunting Calcarius lapponicus (used to be called Fringilla lapponica), different patterning on head, probably a Female.
Yes. I thought the head was slightly different but they seam to vary a bit
Your probably right Rolf. I have never seen one of either. Very pretty
Here I am again jumping in before Chris but he's used to it by now. Yes Lapland Bunting Rolf and as Chris would/will say......well done Rolf.
Pete.
Well, that was fast !
Lappsparv Calcarius lapponicus
Here a new fresh one. Wonder if they are common in the UK
Goosander - Mergus merganser ?
Sorry Chocky
Long-tailed Skua Stercorarius longicaudus ?
Sorry, but no
Black Guillemot Cepphus grylle in winter plumage.
Pete.
Ah. I ave only seen one in the summer. Well done Pete
Yes it is and yes again, well done.
I was sure this could be a problem for You
Tobisgrissla Cepphus grylle
