Here is (a very late ) Monday Bird
Here is (a very late ) Monday Bird
Interesting one, not seen one of these before, in fact not seen any of the Grouse family, think this is a Red Grouse, Lagopus lagopus..gif "Smile")
Actually no, had a rethink, reckon it's a Ptarmigan, Lagopus muta.
Actually Yes
Dalripa Willow Ptarmigan Lagopus lagopus
Good finding !
Here is a special one
I'll have a pop at Great Black-backed Gull, Larus marinus.
A nice try Rolf but as I said in the post, this is a special one
Can't find any other lookalikes beside the Lesser Black-backed Gull, Larus fuscus and the Southern hemisphere Kelp Gull Larus dominicanus, which is unlikely.
Been reading about this bird and mostly they say it is hard to see the difference between the Larus Fuscus and this one.
To make a long story short I will spill the beans (and also present a new pic)
Ljusmantlad silltrut Light-mantled Fuscus Gull Larus fuscus graellsii/intermedius/heuglini
A more common one
Well, it is more common for sure ! ??
I'll go for Ruff Philomachus pugnax.
Good finding Rolf
Brushane Ruff Philomachus pugnax
Tuesday bird !
A nice good looking one.gif "Big Grin")
Not best at these, they all look too simialr, I'll have a bash as Curlew Sandpiper, Calidris ferruginea.
Yes, they all look--a-like
Spovsnäppa Curlew Sandpiper Calidris ferruginea
Well done !
Here is one that doesn´t look like something else
Not one I've seen, as we don't get them here, but I'll take a guess at Red-footed Falcon, Falco vespertinus.
Looks like it has red foots for sure but, perhgas, he is only cold ?
It is not a common bird ! We don´t see too many here in Sweden.
A Merlin - Falco columbarius?
Well, I have to try!
A good try !
You better look in the Harrier section
Right, I'll try once more before Rolf has a look in...
Hen Harrier (f) - Circus cyaneus?
Well shows what I know about Harriers.
Hrrumph!Bronchitis or not, he has done it again!
(Off to check on that Montagu's bird.....)
Nice doing there
Ängshök Montagu´s Harrier Circus pygargus
Well done
Back to work so here is the next in line
OK, here goes with Golden Plover, beautiful little birds. Pluvialis apricaria
Yes, a very nice little bird !
Ljungpipare European Golden Plover Pluvialis apricaria
Well done !
Here is a Weekender for You all
Great Shearwater - Puffinus gravis?
Looks like a Skua, perhaps Arctic Skua? Stercorarius parasiticus.
Can´t deny that Rolf
Kustlabb Parasitic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus
Good finding !
It´s Monday so here we go !
Ringed Plover - Charadrius hiaticula?
It surely must be, Crister?
Certainly looks like one Catherine.
As You guys are so sure
Större strandpipare Common Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula
Good find !
Yippee!
I am right for once!
Thank you, guys!
Yes, get this one as well
Is it a young Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea?
(I suggest 'young' as it doesn't seem to have much yellow colouring!)
