Yep - looks good... I love the 'swept-back' hair![]()

Here is something for You all![]()
Another difficult one - I'll take a stab at a Cirl Bunting - Emberiza cirlus
OK, so I'll try a different one - even if it's just to make Louise seem clever
What about a female Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniclus?
[BTW, Crister, maybe there's something about Rolf that we didn't know...
But (she hastily adds, showing respect for the Webmaster), 'I really don't THINK so!']
I can't argue with that Catherine - it was one of my possibilities.... I have a list of them (so, you're going to have to work harder to make me look clever)![]()
OK
You better start working harder now. Still looking for a correct answer lol
LOL - we are not obviously not as good as Rolf at this - still, it gives us practice![]()
But I HAVE been working hard, Crister!
Now, I thought at first that it looked like a Finch (because of the beak), but it didn't look like any I knew, so I followed Louise in the Bunting direction - but it doesn't really match any of those either - at least not the common ones here...
So I'm lost!![]()
R-O-L-F! Help!![]()
Well, look closer...... (BTW it is a byúnting) at the beak!!!!
The patterning down the breast that almost makes lines, makes it look like a Lapland Bunting (Calcarius lapponicus), although the face looks a little plain. Still, I'll take a stab at that.
A stab that will miss, sorry to say
I'm trying again before Rolf gets here - a Corn Buntng? Emberiza calandra
Please say it's right......![]()
Yes, that is better
Kornsparv Corn Bunting Emberiza calandraWell done !
Gosh, it´s Monday again !
Here is the Monday Bird![]()
Looking at the black under the breast, it would appear to be a Dunlin - Calidris alpinia.![]()
Welcome back Maestro
Kärrsnäppa Dunlin Calidris alpina![]()
Yep, we've missed you Rolf -we know nothing!
Did you HAVE to tell him that, Louise?
I thought we were getting along without him really well. Weren't we, Crister?![]()
You guys are doing a great work !
There will soon be a new bird for You.
Here is an easy one for You![]()
Looks like a Sandpiper, perhaps a Wood Sandpiper - Tringa glareola?
It not just looks like, it is !
Grönbena Wood Sandpiper Tringa glareola
Green legs in Swedish
May I tease You with this little bird ???
How about a Little-ringed Plover - Charadrius dubius?
How about that
Mindre strandpipare Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius
Well done Rolf BTW In Sweden we usually call a guy named Rolf "Roffe" never heard that in UK![]()
Nope, not a name used in the UK, Rolf isn't that common, probably more Ralphs about, something I often get called.
Among other things no doubt!
['Rolf' is more 'continental' perhaps, though 'Ralph' is definitely very English.
Both are rare north of the Border!]
Anyway, Rolf/'Roffe', remember that the next bird ID is mine!![]()
LOL, you've got it Catherine.![]()
OKAY so here we go "Roffe" and "Cathy"![]()
OK, 'Crissy'!
I'll start with - a Black Tailed Godwit, in summer plumage (though the beak doesn't look long enough....) - Limosa limosa
(Now, that's just my first guess, Rolf!)
Ooh ooh, I know, I know, he said thrusting his hand in the air as per primary school.![]()
Well, you can just wait until Louise has had her turn!![]()
Boys can be SO pushy, can't they?
(Where's Carin anyway?)
What is Your second guess ?![]()
Just thinking.......![]()
Curlew Sandpiper? - Calidris ferruginea
Well, at least I'm trying!
Where is Louise just now?![]()
Cooking my curry for tonight.![]()
Ooh ooh, I know, I know.![]()
Then just keep quiet and eat your curry!
(I like her as she looks like me!)
Guess I have to try again though.......?![]()
It's a KNOT, isn't it?! - Calidris canuta
