Well done Pete
Rosenfink Carpodacus erythrinus
Nice bird
Here is a hungry one![]()
Redwing Turdus iliacus
Thousands over here now for the winter with Fieldfare.
Pete.
Again a HIT
Rödvingetrast Turdus iliacus
Anyway, it was a good pic, was it not ?
Certainly was Dig.
got to keep my eyes open for Redwings this year, as i have yet to get a photo of one.![]()
Here is a beautiful and strange looking bird
This one is a male![]()
Mandarin Duck Dig.Aix galericulata
Here's a picture of a Male and Female from the Gallery.

Here is a Scandinavia Big Bird![]()
White fronted Goose-Anser albifrons ?
I reckon it's a Bean Goose - Anser fabalis
Yep. I recon your right Rolf
I recon You are wrong, both of You
The family is(of course) right but as I wrote "a Scandinavia"
From way up north
Taiga bean goose ?
Anser fabalis rossicus ? Tundra Bean Goose
Taiga and Tundra is more like Russia
Scandinavia is more to the west
This bird has it´s name from a place (an island) just outside Norway
Well actually it looks like the Pink Footed goose - Anser brachyrhynchus
All of those Geese can be found in Sweden Dig, in fact probably more so than the UK.
The only one I can find is the Smaland Goose, but can't find the latin name for it and I'm pretty sure it isn't a visitor to the UK, so it is difficult for us to name..
ALL beaten on this one 'digdeep'. My ID would have been Pink-footed Goose. Apparently not this according to you which means I wait with interest to see the answer.
Pete.
A Pink Footed Goose is what I concluded in my last post
It´s from Svalbard
Spetsbergsgås Anser brachyrhynchus
I can understand Your problemsbut that´s into the game.
Can´t be too easy every time.
Still I think this next one is easier to name
Spetsbergsgås Anser brachyrhynchus is a pink footed goose

I couldn't see it being anything else Beryl so a little confusion somewhere along the line here I think.
As for your next one 'dig deep' I'm definitely passing on it.
Pete.
Is it a Chiffchaff
Like your style Babs, we'll see.
Pete.
I don't think so. It has a brown head
Could be one of several warblers, but not enough detail in the photo.
Is it a Radde's Warbler, Phylloscopus schwarzi ?
That's another one worth a guess Beryl.
Pete.
It's the brown head and the wings appear to be brown also
I think it could be Brown Gerygone Gerygone mouki

This is why I need the full Latin name - just to be sure we are talking about the same birdmany are almost the same.
Anyway, here are some more pics from this last bird. There are 2 species that are common, one is Scandinavian and the other from Sibiria.
The answer I need is the Scandinavian but as they are almost the same I can settle for the first 2 Latin names![]()
Here is some more pics, had to shrink them before posting![]()
Is it a leaf warbler Phylloscopus Trchilus
Familyname : Phylloscopus is right
I am told that the yellow band over the eye is special for this brand![]()
Pallas's Leaf Warbler
