I've never seen one, but they are such a striking bird, I reckon it's a Bee-eater - Merops apiaster.![]()

Yes it is and a great picture as well
In Swedish Biätare. beeaterMerops apiaster Biätare
Let us see if You can name this bird !![]()
Looks like a Garganey - Anas querquedula.![]()
Yes Sir !
Årta Garganey Anas querquedula
Well done again![]()
So, what about this one ??![]()
Jack Snipe - Lymnocryptes minimus
Hmm, crafty.
The tip of his beak is hidden under his wing, but the brown behind his eye and the head stripes make it a Broad-billed Sandpiper I reckon.Limicola falcinellus
Yes could be
Sure is
Myrsnäppa Broad-billed Sandpiper Limicola falcinellus![]()
This is not easy, I hope![]()
Greenshank - Tringa nebularia
No, it is not a green one![]()
Looks like it may be the Terek Sandpiper, as it is the only other bird I can find with a similar bill and colouring, think it's not too common though.Xenus cinereus
Right, it is a SandpiperTerek
Maybe not so common but we do see them every now and then![]()
Here is something special. Mostly because it is a great picture.
Let us see if You can guess what it is !
Crumbs Cris, no idea on this one, been through every Finch and Bunting I can think of and doesn't come close.![]()
Is the one in thwe middle Blue-capped Cordon-bleu Uraeginthus cyanocephalus ?
And the others may be waxbills finches
Well, I am sorry but I have no idea
It was just a good picture I wanted to share with You !
So here is the real next question
What on earth is this?![]()
Ahh, nearly caught me out, was looking at Thrushes at first, but then looked at the beak and body size and thought it must be a field bird.I'll go for Corncrake Crex crex.
![]()
Of course it is
Kornknarr Corn Crake Crex crex
A name that sounds like the bird![]()
and this little friend ?
Ringed plover - Charadrius hiaticula ?
Very close Beryl, but I think it's the Little-ringed Plover Charadrius dubius, as it has a dark bill.
Oh. Yes. you are right Rolf![]()
I have never seen either
LOL, me neither.Well perhaps one of them in flight, but not 100% sure.
![]()
Don't think we have them here. Might at Bowling Green Marsh![]()
A Plover one it is
Mindre strandpipare Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius
Well done![]()
So, here we have a nice picture of a .............![]()
Dipper - Cinclus cinclus
No, not really![]()
Oh ............![]()
I think it's a lesser Whitethroat, Sylvia curruca.
Sure is
Ärtsångare Lesser Whitethroat Sylvia curruca
In Swedish it´s called Pea singer![]()
A new approach
What will come out from those eggs ???
The size is shown by using a Swedish 5 krona 25 mm
Right, I'll need some time on this.![]()
Meadow Pipit's eggs
Got this small bird for You why You try to find the egg, or rather who laid them![]()
Looks like a Subalpine warbler Sylvia cantillans.![]()
