Got this beauty for You !
Bar-headed Goose - Anser indicus![]()
Again a 10-ponit Chocky
Stripgås Anser indicus
Nice bird isn´t it ?
Again a water loving bird![]()
Cormorant- Phalacrocorax carbo
Hmm, looks like a Diver of some sort, but can't find a match. Great Northern Diver - Gavia immer perhaps? The beak doesn't look right for a Cormorant.
I can see it now.
Black- throated Diver - Gavia arctica
Great Northern Diver Gavia immer in winter plumage.
Pete.
I am glad to announce that we have the right answer
Svartnäbbad islom Gavia immer
It´s a diver and she likes cold weather, strange bird![]()
Here is a new fresh picture of a water loving bird
Let us see what You guys know about divers![]()
Red-necked Grebe, Podiceps grisegena ?
I reckon it's a Female Smew - Mergellus albellus, it's the only waterfowl I can see which has the beak colouring extending onto the head with that shape and a red neck. They are a little Grebe like
I think your right Rolf. His beak is all wrong for a grebe of any sort.
Just noticed that![]()
Yes, it is a she
Salskrake Mergus albellus
Well done again Rolf![]()
Here is a shy bird![]()
Jay - Garrulus glandarius
It would have to be a very small one Beryl.I think it's a Bearded Tit - Panurus biarmicus
Yes. you are probably right Rolf. I don't think Jays have blue heads do they? And his wings are too short .Lol.![]()
So, what could this be ???![]()
A Lapwing- Vanellus vanellus ?
Yep, no doubt about that.![]()
Indeed
Tofsvipa Vanellus vanellus
![]()
Here is a little bird that think it is too cold today![]()
Serin female - Serinus serinus ?
Well, although I've never seen one, I reckon it's an Ortolan Bunting - Emberiza hortulana, it's the only one I can think of with the grey head, facial stripes and buff/rose underwing colour
I thought of some sort of bunting .
Your probably right Rolf. I have never seen a bunting .
The only ones I've knowingly seen are Reed and Corn, plus Yellowhammer of the same family.![]()
I was going to put yellowhammer
I think though they have more brighter yellow and striped faces. so I don't think it is
Chris hasn't given the answer to this one yet Rolf but I hope he can forgive me for telling you that you are correct with Ortolan Bunting.
Pete.
Thanks Pete, one I'll have to keep a look out for.![]()
So will I Rolf. But won't be holding my breath, don't think one has ever turned up in our neck of the woods but not 100% sure about that claim......just 99.9%
Pete.
Looks like I'll have more chance over at me sister's place in France.![]()
Yes Rolf - it is a Ortolansparv Emberiza hortulana
Not that common here in Sweden but we do see them.
Well done again, it was nice to read Your chat about this bird![]()
Well done Rolf![]()
Well, this won´t be easy![]()
Peregrine- Falco peregrinus ?
Almost but not all the wayIt´s a falcon all right but from another branch
