Here is a not so common bird !
Here is a not so common bird !
BTW
I forgot to say
This is not an easy quest !.
Storm Petrel - Hydrobates pelagicus ?
Both Yes and No !
It is a : Klykstjärtad stormsvala Leach´s Storm-petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa
but You can´t see the tail so I say it is more Yes then No
Well done !
Here is a look-alike bird.gif "Smile")
Little Gull - Hydrocoloeus minutus ?
Is it a Manx Sheerwater - Puffinus Puffinus?

Anyway, well done Rolf
LOL, did help a little, but you still have to know what bird group to look in.
So, what could this be ??
Chinstrap Penguin - Pygoscelis antarcticus ?
Looks like a Guillemot, Uria aalge.
Your probably right Rolf.
They look so much like penguins . This one looks to be in his winter coat
Looks like a Guillemot, Uria aalge.
I have a Sillgrissla Common Murre Uria aalge
So, Latin is the same but not the English name
I think you'll find they are one and the same bird. Just has two names to add to confusion
Yes, Common Murre or Common Guillemot are the same.
Here is a re-run but closer than usually
Garnet - Morus bassanus ?
Yes, well done !
Havssula Northern Gannet Morus bassanus
Here is a new fresh bird !
European Roller, Coracias garrulus
A very rare bird in our neck of the woods, probably pretty unusual in yours as well. I think it's a Roller - Coracias garrulus, looks a little like our Jay, Garrulus glandarius
Two post at the same time, with the same answer
Blåkråka European Roller Coracias garrulus
No, not that common but still they are visiting us
Here is a special brand
Is it a bean goose - Anser fabalis ?
No, it is not an Anser family member
Ah, lightened the photo slightly, looks like the Brent Goose - Branta bernicla, or more possibly hrota/nugricans a sub-species.
Hmm, that´s very close to cheating
Svartbukig prutgås Black Brant Branta bernicla nigricans
but, still - well done Rolf
LOL, it's called using all means at my disposal Cris.
It's called iniciative.
Well done Rolf
So, this picture needs no working with
Well this one looks like a Wigeon - Anas penelope, apart from the whit behind the beak.
It is a Widgeon all right but not Penelope
OK.
Well, it is from the American side of the world but not America
We get American an Eurasion Wigeons here the Amarican Wigeon have a teal stipe on the head
Eurasian Wigeons don't
Is it: American Wigeon (also American Widgeon or Baldpate), Anas americana ?
N, Rolf suggested that but still No !
So he did. I didn't see that bit
Is it then the :Chilöe Wigeon - Anas sibilatrix ?
Like I said, not that bad----OK.
Chilebläsand Chiloe wigeon Anas sibilatrix
Chile is in Latin America, but still in America
I don't thinkwe have them here but we certainly have two different types of Wigeon. You have to really look though as they look similar apart from one having a tiel stip on the side of his head and a bit lighter
