Here is a new bird ! Not that hard to find I hope
Here is a new bird ! Not that hard to find I hope
Nope, not that hard at all, Mistle thrush - Turdus viscivorus..gif "Smile")
Well-guessed by that Viking!
Yes I think You guys have a lot of Viking genes in Your genom They had some good times in Britannia
and the bird was, of course a Dubbeltrast Mistle Thrush Turdus viscivorus
Stay tuned
Here is today´s dish
I think it's a female Siskin - Carduelis spinus
I wouldn't argue against that Catherine, lovely little birds.
Well done Dr Watson
Grönsiska Eurasian Siskin Carduelis spinus.gif "Big Grin")
This next one is a beautiful bird !
Looks like a Grey Heron Chris. Ardea cinerea
Sure is Rolf. A nice bird (and big)
Gråhäger Grey Heron Ardea cinerea
We have the same name in Swedish
That was quick so I better give You guys a Saturday Bird as well
So, You need a better picture ?
Well that looks like a Goshawk Chris, Accipiter gentilis.
What a fantastic photo - that second one - just like the bird we often see on the way to Christchurch.
I'm sure it's a Goshawk too!
Sure is, great picture of a grand bird
Duvhök Northern Goshawk Accipiter gentilis
Here is a lovely bird, can You tell me what it is ???
Well this is a difficult one, looks like a juvenile finch of some sort, but could be one of several.
Yes, they do look-a-like
Here is a new pic, maybe it can help on the way....
Female Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniclus ?
Certainly not
You really enjoyed saying that!
OK, so it's back to the Boys' Club again!
Well the only one that I can find which matches is a North american bird, the Pine Siskin, Carduelis pinus.
Certainly is notbut not that far away.
Linnet (f) - Carduelis cannabina ?
Hint :
We are talking about a bird, sitting in the same tree but in Sweden !!
OK, how about Pine Bunting, Emberiza leucocephalos?
Good You did find the tree
Tallsparv Pine Bunting Emberiza leucocephalos
Well done !
Here is a new "stranger"
Really had to search for this one, if it's what I think it is, we don't get them here, think it's a Shore Lark, Eremophila alpestris.
I think you're right!
Just couldn't see the yellow in the shadows.
(Don't know where Holkham Gap in Norfolk is, but there seem to be four there just now - a bit too far for you to travel to I guess, Rolf! Norfolk Ornithologists Association / FrontPage )
I, however, think You are wrong, both of You
Sorry (he wrote with a smile)
I´ll give You a better picture mon amis
It's a tricky one then.
Another name for that bird is Horned Lark, but since you've discounted Rolf's Latin name for it as well......
I'll have to leave it to the master to find.
Wow, actually I did not read the Latin name
So, really
It is a Berglärka Horned Lark Eremophila alpestris
It is strange that the bird has more than one name. It has happened before and will (I am sure) happen again.
So I have to change from wrong - right
Anyway, stay tuned there will be a new fresh problem tomorrow.
Well, I can not see any nameproblems with this bird !
Ah, errr', 'um.... could it be a Blackcap?
(Sylvia atricapilla)
Splendid !
Svarthätta Blackcap Sylvia atricapilla
Well done !
An easy starter for a Monday !
No cheating is allowed - so don´t read the jpg-name
Looks like a Nutcracker, Nucifraga caryocatates.
