So, is this little gray bird hard to name ?![]()

Gray Jay, Perisoreus canadensis, ?
Nice try Chocky but have to say No this time.
Gray Flycatcher - Empidonax wrightii
Well it looks like a juvenile Wheatear - Oenanthe oenanthe, so good they named it twice.![]()
I thought of the northern Wheatear but was torn between the two
So you are probably right Rolf![]()
In a way he isI think I have a special version but still will not argue with the owner
Nunnestenskvätta Pied Wheatear Oenanthe pleschanka
Not much to argue about, is there![]()
That's definitely a different species and I would imagine pretty rare in our locale, but the juveniles can look very similar.![]()
Well, mon ami
Nothing to argue about![]()
Let us see if this will keep You busy for a while ?
Looks like a Black Kite - Milvus migrans Cris, but the image title is perhaps a little bit of a giveaway.![]()
![]()
Well done Rolf
Lol. It tells you at the bottom of the photo . It says B_k1
Yeah, You migth think that the letters give it awaybut No
It´s not that easy
It´s not a Black Kite......
Ahh, jumped too quickly there.
How about Marsh Harrier - Circus aeruginosus?
Yes, that was better
Brun kärrhök Western Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus![]()
Here is a new one ! Better one bird in the hand than 10 in the woods
A very small picture, sorry about that !
Pallas's Leaf Warbler - Phylloscopus proregulus
Yes, well done
Kungsfågelsångare Pallas´s Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus proregulus![]()
Thanks.I love these little birds all of them
Good, so here is a new small bird !
It's Dunnock shaped, so I'm assuming part of the Accentor family.
One from the cold lands, Black-throated Accentor - Prunella atrogularis?
Have to agree with that Rolf![]()
Me too !
That was fast
Svartstrupig järnsparv Black-throated Accentor Prunella atrogularis![]()
This bird has a very strange name in Swedish, let us see if You can find the Latin (and English) for it.
Restart- Falsterbo
or
RedstartPhoenicurus phoenicurus
Sorry Chocky
No, it is not.....
Never mind I'll try again
Good, have a go then.![]()
I will upload a picture wher the Sun is not coloring the bird![]()
is it a
chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita ?
I reckon it's a Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe.![]()
I recon you are right Rolf![]()
Yes it is !
Stenskvätta, rasen leucorhoa Greenland Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe leucorhoa
As You can see this version is from Greenland![]()
Here is a wellknown bird
How is the saying ? Better one bird in the hand then 10 in the woods?![]()
I don't think they say that, Crister, but maybe they should!
I'm going for Chiffchaff here - (Phylloscopus collybita, I think - though I'm not good at Linnaean names!))
- But it will probably be 'the other one' anyway!![]()
Going by it's Black legs I'd say you are right Catherine.
It looks small but I can't tell the size of the hands
So, let us see what You can say about this very "special" bird
BTW Catherine, no snow yet. We usually don´t have any before Christmas but then we have it for 2 looong months![]()
I'll put my money on Great White Egret - Ardea alba modesta.
Have to agree with Rolf there![]()
