I think it looks like the Grasshopper Warbler too.
I think it looks like the Grasshopper Warbler too.
So, how about this bird ?
Hard to find is it not ?
Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus arundinaceus
No, a friend to the family but not a Reed![]()
How about a Garden Warbler - Sylvia Borin?
Well, think that I must change my answer to Chockyas this bird is a special kind of reed.
So I rest my case and print the right answer.
Busksångare Blyth´s Reed Warbler Acrocephalus dumetorum
Must be a very close relative![]()
I hope that this bird is not a member in a Big family![]()
Could it be a Golden Oriole (f)? - Oriolus oriolus - Crister?
Well done Catherine
Sommargylling Eurasian Golden Oriole Oriolus oriolus
It is a summer bird in Swedish![]()
Wow! Thanks, Crister!![]()
I've only ever seen Golden Orioles once - one summer in France, near the German border.![]()
Here is a new fresh question![]()
Could it be a ................Nightingale - Luscinia megarhynchos ?
No, not this one![]()
Spotted flycatsher - Muscicapa striata ?
Sorry, have to say no again![]()
You are very cruel, Crister!
I've checked Cuckoos, Pipits, Wheatears, Larks.....
Can we please have a clue if no-one (i.e. not even Rolf) has guessed by tomorrow?![]()
Think I have it.
Female Barred Warbler - Sylvia nisoria
Wow, looks to me like you've got it, Rolf - looks pretty close to me.
Taken me two days of pouring through photos.![]()
Ah, so you took up the challenge, Rolf!Knew you would!
It seems to have a thicker neck and beak than the Warblers I know - and it was difficult to gauge the size of the bird in that pic.
Well done (in advance of Crister's confirmation of course)!
Yes I have to confirm - this is a Höksångare Barred Warbler Sylvia nisoria
In Swedish Hawksinger
Good to hear that it took some time and brain to find this one. Hope the next will be even harder![]()
Think this is easier, time will tell![]()
Boreal Owl - Aegolius funereus
also known as
Tengmalm's Owl, Aegolius funereus
No, it is not![]()
Orange beak, black eyes and long tail, looks like a Ural Owl - Strix uralensis.
Yes it does, doesn´t it ?
Slaguggla Ural Owl Strix uralensis![]()
Back to Monday again and a new bird for You all !
Well, wednesday today and still not a guess ?
Or is it the summer ?![]()
It looks like a Finch of sorts...
Orange-fronted Yellow Finch? - Sicalis columbiana
Well, you DID want us to try!
(I think this is maybe one for Rolf again!)
Been looking at it, at first thought a finch, but then went off the idea, then revisited. Due to the chunkiness of the beak, possibly a Pine Grossbeak female - Pinicola enucleator?
Think I'd have toagree with Rolf there![]()
Took You some time
Tallbit Pine Grosbeak Pinicola enucleator
It´s good that we have our own Sherlock here![]()
This next one will be easier I am sure![]()
Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea
(Does it have a broken wing? It seems to be dragging its left one...)
Thinks, 'Maybe Sherlock is having a day off now?'![]()
Close Catherine
but not close enough![]()
Difficult these birds, so many variations, I'd go for a Citrine Wagtail - Motacilla citreola, non-breeding male.
Yes it is
Citronärla Citrine Wagtail Motacilla citreola
Many look alike as Rolf said.
Good MondayA new fresh question for You all.
Looks like a Wheatear - Oenanthe oenanthe.![]()
