Before the party, solve this ?![]()
Looks like a very blurred Linnet Cris.Carduelis cannabina.
Party this weekend? Have a good one.![]()
Yes Rolf it is a : Hämpling Carduelis cannabina
Fast as usual![]()
A Sunday special for You![]()
Song Thrush - Turdus philomelos ?
If not it's a Mistle Thrush - Turdus viscivorus
Could be a Pipit as well, Rock Pipit perhaps? Anthus petrosus
Yes I thought of a Pipit but his dot are to prominent .
Having said that you could be right![]()
Yes 'pipit' Rolf but no time to guess at the moment so might 'lose' this one.
Pete.
Well, it is not a rock![]()
Tree Pipit - Anthus trivialis ?
No, it is not a tree either![]()
An outside bet here, How about an Olive-backed Pipit Anthus Hodgsoni (yunnanensis) not a particularly common Swedish visitor I would imagine.It does have the facial characteristics of your picture though.
Sibirisk piplärka Anthus hodgsoni
Seen somr reports that this bird is seen rather often. Times are a changing even for an Siberian bird
Nice found Rolf![]()
A new way to present a bird![]()
Whooper Swan - Cygnus cygnus ?
Could be a bewick Swan - Cygnus columbianus
In Sweden we call it a singing swan
Sångsvan Cygnus cygnus
but I never heard one singing I must confess
Nice picture was it not ?
Well done Chocky![]()
Yes . Very nice. Lovely. Swans are beautiful birds
Here is a new fresh question for You![]()
Ahh, I know this one, it's a Water Rail, Rallus aquaticus, very difficult to photograph, here's my only attempt.![]()
Nice one. Have never seen one these. Well done Rolf![]()
Yours was a little bit blurred
but still it was a : Vattenrall Rallus aquaticus![]()
So, what do we see here ??![]()
Only one thing that can be, orangy brown body with black tale, Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea.![]()
Yes but of coursea very good looking bird I say
Rostand Tadorna ferruginea
Yheuy are lovely.
The photo won't expand for me so I can't see it
Here is a new question: What is this ??
Double-crested Cormorant- Phalacrocorax auritus ?

Well, almost![]()
Double Brasted Cormorant - Phalacrocorax lucidus ?
Close but not close enough![]()
Could be just your bog standard Cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo, well if you can call a bird standard which looks like it doesn't belong in this epoch.![]()
Well, this is a special breedbut still accepted
Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis![]()
Before I leave for Riga I offer this question
It´s rather easy I think![]()
