- and I bet you didn't need the hint of the 'not' part of its name, Rolf!
- and I bet you didn't need the hint of the 'not' part of its name, Rolf!
of course it is
Nötkråka Spotted Nutcracker Nucifraga caryocatactes
So, what is this ??.gif "Big Grin")
Is that not the Shore (or Horned) Lark pic you posted a week ago, Crister?
Now, I know you may be testing if we've learned anything from your quiz, but so soon?
Yes it is, my mistakebut it is not that easy to remember the names when You have to make them up before posting
Anyway, I will be back with the right bird in a moment (or two)
A moment is short
I'm thinking it's a Brambling - Fringilla montifringilla - Crister, though its head and beak look much blacker than any we see here.
Or have you made up another name for it?.gif "Smile")
No, I use the very same name (Latin that is) as we all
and Yes, it is !
Bergfink Brambling Fringilla montifringilla fin
Good finding !
Here is a special breed
and hungry
Eh'm - and you asked us that one 6 days ago...
I know it's a male Blackcap- Sylvia atricapilla - too - as that's what I said then and you agreed!
dig deep (08-03-2012)
I am 2old 4 this
Must find a better way to name my bird - no Swedish and no UK and no Latin Hmm gotta think about this;
Yes, of course You are right, same picture but not what I was aiming at
Here is the bird, this one is (like I said) a special breed
That looks like a Black Redstart Chris.
Yep, good finding !
In my book it has many names
Svart rödstjärt, phoenicuroides Black Redstart ssp. phoenicuroides Phoenicurus ochruros phoenicuroides
It aint easy to understand the latin names
That IS a lovely bird - ............and you're NOT too old for this, Crister!
There can't be many left for you to choose from - and if you don't like the Latin names then it's not OUR fault, but that of someone from a country in Northern Europe I think!
Perhaps, had he given them Swedish names, we'd all be naming them in Swedish now. Food for thought
A great Monday - sunny and +7 now
and what is this ??
Think You need a closer picture of this "old" Monday beauty
Now, that one looks like a Whitethroat - Sylvia communis
(Fingers crossed!
The second one looks like a Barred warbler (markings on breast), perhaps the first one is a juvenile? Sylvia nisoria
Yes, the first one was a juvenile and the second one was ...
Höksångare Barred Warbler Sylvia nisoria
a not so common bird!
OK, so I was tricked again!
Well done, Rolf!
Back to the kitchen now for me.....
Here is something for You, no trix allowed
Lesser Redpoll - Carduelis cabaret
I THINK.....
Yes I know it was too easy, such a nice picture
Brunsiska Lesser redpoll Carduelis flammea cabaret
Well done !!
Now You all have to wait for the Monday
What do you mean by 'it was too easy'?
I thought long and hard...
Well, let us see what this Monday Bird will tell
Not that easy to spot
Not 100% sure, but will take a guess at Short-eared Owl, Asio flammeus.
Good guess I must say
Jorduggla Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus
Have this picture of a ???
That handsome chap appears to be a Rook - Corvus frugilegus.
Indeed
Råka Rook Corvus frugilegus
Not always refered to as a Handsom Chap
Handsome chap, Rolf?
Need to go to specsavers?
Well look at that lovely haircut he's got.
Here is a typical spring bird
Now, THAT's what I call handsome!
Tree Sparrow - Passer montanus
Sure is and, like You said, rather handsome
Pilfink Eurasian Tree Sparrow Passer montanus
Well done !
Here is a bird that is (of course) also very handsome !
Ah yes, the little Wren, Troglodytes troglodytes.
of course it is, hope it will be the last "winter" bird for a while !!
Gärdsmyg Winter Wren Troglodytes troglodytes
Well done !
