Sorry but I must say No.....
Sorry but I must say No.....
Think it's a Buzzard, wing feather patterns and legs would perhaps make it a Rough legged Buzzard - Buteo lagopus
Can´t say more than
Fjällvråk Rough-legged Buzzard Buteo lagopus
Very nice picture I must say !
I wonder if he did get his pray ?
This bird is a 1K so he will grow up a little more, giving time.
So here is the last bird for this year.
Wish You all a very Happy New Year
May all Your dreams fulfill
Hope you have a great New Year's Eve as well Cris.
I reckon it's a Reed Bunting Emberiza Schoeniclus (Female), although there are many regional variations of the same birds across Europe.
Yep. Agree with you Rolf.Looks like a female.
Happy new year to you Cris.gif "Smile")
So the last bird of 2009 was an easy match
Sävsparv Common Reed Bunting Emberiza schoeniclus
Goody! I got it too (honestly), Crister - though I didn't post my answer!
How about a New Year resolution to make each 2010 'Guess the bird' just as easy?
Well, I had to try...
Have a Happy New Year anyway!
Yeah, I believe You
Think I have to get back to re-using some of the birds. I am running out of new birds
I have posted a "few"
Have an even better 2010 (goes for all of You)
So, le us see if You remember this one !
It´s a rerun but (of course) a new picture.
His head is tucked into his breast
Looks very like a puffed up Dipper, not really surprising it's puffed up though, seeing as it's standing on a block of snow.
Cinclus cinclus.
Think you are right there Rolf.
Yes, it was a funny picture
Strömstare White-throated Dipper Cinclus cinclus
Good finding Rolf
Another old friend
Oh, that's a Fieldfare, Crister!
(Now to check its Latin name.... Yes - Turdus pilaris!)
Lovely photo, and really appropriate choice just now!
Yes it is
Björktrast Fieldfare Turdus pilaris Well done !
So, what is this ??
Pine Grosbeak - Pinicola enucleator
Sure is Chocky
Tallbit Pine Grosbeak Pinicola enucleatorwell done !
and this little fellow ?
Winter Wren also known as the Northern Wren - Troglodytes troglodytes ?
Gärdsmyg Winter Wren Troglodytes troglodytes
Well done Chocky !
Here is another old friend.
Golden Eagle - Aquila chrysaetos
Good try Chocky
No, it is not
Hen harrier - Circus cyaneus
Sorry bit I have to say no
Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus)?
I know that it is a bad picture (on purpose)
but it is not that bad.
So, it is not a harrier
Well by the look of the beak and head it is an Eagle, I'll take a guess at Steppe Eagle Aquila nipalensis?
Yes it is an Eagle
Booted Eagle - Aquila pennata
and not that one
Think You guys need to see its tail
White-tailed Eagle - Haliaeetus albicilla
I think you're right, Beryl!
(I know Rolf waited until we'd ruled out the Harriers to suggest 'Eagle' anyway!)
I thought it was an eagle to begin with but I'm not very good at Raptors
Yes it is
Havsörn White-tailed Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla
It´s the biggest raptor we have here in Sweden. Had a bad future due to all pullotion but is coming back now.
Now, this is something special
No one seen a bird like that ? Sure You have....
