Have to hide a bit for You all here, just to make it a little harder
So, no Rolf, it is not![]()
Slavonian Grebe- Podiceps auritus ?

![]()
Ivory Gull Pagophila eburnea.
Pete.
Wow. Well done Pete![]()
It's rather a beauty isn't it?
Yes but not seen one yet but fingers crossed one day hopefully Beryl. They really are 'ivory' in summer plumage.
Pete.
It's the patterning on the wing. I looked in my encyclopaedia of birds.It doesn't have every bird and the one I put had similar and was nice too but the wrong one. I looked up yours and it's a beautiful bird![]()
Yes, like I said it is very seldome seen up here in Sweden, but this one seems to be staying here so, perhaps, they will take a trip over to UK some day.
Anyway, well done again as it was an : Ismås Pagophila eburnea
Ice = Is![]()
A more common bird ?![]()
Arctic Redpoll - Carduelis hornemanni exilipes ?
I do believe you have it spot on Beryl.![]()
I had seen it in my encyclopedia looking at the Pipits and funnily enough remembered. I hope it is right can't be 100%![]()
You could be right on this one Beryl and I'm certainly not going to suggest you may not be. That said the Redpoll is a difficult one and Im' not 100% sure this individual is pale enough for 'arctic' but I'm leaving it as......your guess is as good as mine Beryl. If it turns out you are correct then well done.
Pete.
Well we will have to wait and see![]()
Sorry for the late answersbeen busy for a while
Well, Chocky it is not quite correct, the Carduelis is OK but not the rest.
Think it´s a matter of color![]()
Lesser Redpoll - Carduelis cabaret ?
No, it is even lesser red![]()
