    It looks very small - but that may be because the rock is so BIG!

    Could it be a Redshank - Tringa totanus?

    The beak looks too long for a Redshank, how about a Black-tailed Godwit? Limosa limosa.

    STONEchat? Oh, yes, Scandinavian humour as it's on a stone, Crister!

    Now, you'd not have guessed that, Rolf, had I not given it a go!

    You see, that poor wee bird had been standing on that huge, muckle stone for 4 DAYS completely ignored by everyone!

    Swedish humour can (sometimes) be rather funny !

    It is a very nice weather so I don´t think anyone (but You) had a look at that poor bird.

    And I did so out of kindness, Crister, as it seemed so lonely stuck out there on its own!

    You'd understand if it happened to you!

    Now, that HAS to be a Mistle Thrush, Crister - Turdus viscivorus!

    It IS, isn't it?

    Eh'm... I think it might be a Song Thrush - Turdus philomelos ?

    (Though thought it looked a bit small at first. Are Scandinavian STs smaller?)

    My reasoning, Crister, was that we've been told that many Blackbirds we have here in winter are migrants from Scandinavia, and the way to identify them are by their darker bills and smaller size - so with those also being of the Thrush family, I wondered if Song Thrushes over there might be smaller too! Honest!

    Don´t think so, if they stay here and get fatter and fatter they should be bigger as well



    Anyway, here is a new bird, big or fat
