Red-necked Grebe- Podiceps grisegena ? Chick
Red-necked Grebe- Podiceps grisegena ? Chick
No, it is not red![]()
OK, there aren't too many other Grebes, how about Slavonian Grebe, Podiceps auritus?
Yes it is. It was a toss up between the three and the Slavonian Grebe was going to be my next . Well done Rolf![]()
Like You said Rolf, aint many of them
Svarthakedopping Horned Grebe Podiceps auritus (BTW it´s called Horned Grebe ??)
In Swedisk this one is named black (svart)![]()
Yep. Horned Grebe.
Horned Grebe, Identification, All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Here is a new fresh bird !
Maybe hard to see?![]()
Are they Starlings? Sturnus vulgaris?
Flock of Pigeons - Columba
Oh no
It´s a close-to water bird(s) but none of Your guesses![]()
Think You need a closer look![]()
Alpine Swifts - Tachymarptis melba
That's a difficult one, but there aren't too many birds with that type of tail and profile when in flight and the facial markings, if it is what it looks like, a Black-winged Pratincole - Glareola nordmanni. I would guess a rare visitor to Sweden.![]()
Well, not that common but still a regular visitor
Svartvingad vadarsvala Black-winged Pratincole Glareola nordmanni![]()
Oh. Never heard of that one.
Well done Rolf![]()
I'd heard of it, didn't know what one looked like apart from vaguely, but was looking through the book for the right flight outline.![]()
I did that but only came up with the Alpine
So, what could this be ??![]()
Spoonbill - Platalea leucorodia
Well, I have Eurasian as well !
Skedstork Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia
![]()
I think it's the same![]()
Me to Chocky
Anyway, here is a new fresh (water) bird
Hmm, I forgot to say - it´s a special breed (lol)
Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus?
Juvenile. Yep I'll agree with Rolf![]()
Well, I wont agree![]()
OK, if it isn't the Lesser, it's the Great Black-backed Gull - Larus marinus.![]()
Or a juvenile Herring Gull - Larus argentatus
That´s better Rolf
Havstrut Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus![]()
I think I´ve posted just about every bird we see here in Sweden.
Still find something new every now and then, so here we go:
White-fronted Goose - Anser albifrons
Sorry but no, it is not !![]()
Lesser White-fronted Goose - Anser erythropus ?
Bingo
Fjällgås Anser erythropus![]()
Again I ask, what bird could this be ??
Bit of a giveaway with the name of the file Cris, but it sounds like a Skylark - Alauda arvensis.
Yep I'll agree with Rolf .
Sounds remarkably like a Skylark
or Songlark: Cincloramphus mathewsi
Isn't the songlark - Cincloramphus mathewsi an Australian bird Beryl?
Yes . Just realized Rolf. Got to be a Sky lark having listened to it![]()
Yes, sorry about the name, one must remember what it is but I usually
change name when posting
Sånglärka, Alauda arvensis
Well done, reading swedish![]()
Here is a strange looking bird What could it be ???![]()
