- and I bet you didn't need the hint of the 'not' part of its name, Rolf!![]()
- and I bet you didn't need the hint of the 'not' part of its name, Rolf!![]()
of course it is
Nötkråka Spotted Nutcracker Nucifraga caryocatactes
![]()
So, what is this ??![]()
Is that not the Shore (or Horned) Lark pic you posted a week ago, Crister?
Now, I know you may be testing if we've learned anything from your quiz, but so soon?![]()
Yes it is, my mistakebut it is not that easy to remember the names when You have to make them up before posting
Anyway, I will be back with the right bird in a moment (or two)
A moment is shortSome great colors on this bird !
I'm thinking it's a Brambling - Fringilla montifringilla - Crister, though its head and beak look much blacker than any we see here.
Or have you made up another name for it?![]()
No, I use the very same name (Latin that is) as we all
and Yes, it is !
Bergfink Brambling Fringilla montifringilla fin
Good finding !
Here is a special breed
and hungry![]()
Eh'm - and you asked us that one 6 days ago...
I know it's a male Blackcap- Sylvia atricapilla - too - as that's what I said then and you agreed!![]()
dig deep (08-03-2012)
I am 2old 4 this
Must find a better way to name my bird - no Swedish and no UK and no Latin Hmm gotta think about this;
Yes, of course You are right, same picture but not what I was aiming at
Here is the bird, this one is (like I said) a special breed
That looks like a Black Redstart Chris.Phoenicurus ochruros
Yep, good finding !
In my book it has many names
Svart rödstjärt, phoenicuroides Black Redstart ssp. phoenicuroides Phoenicurus ochruros phoenicuroides
It aint easy to understand the latin names![]()
That IS a lovely bird - ............and you're NOT too old for this, Crister!
There can't be many left for you to choose from - and if you don't like the Latin names then it's not OUR fault, but that of someone from a country in Northern Europe I think!
Perhaps, had he given them Swedish names, we'd all be naming them in Swedish now. Food for thought![]()
A great Monday - sunny and +7 now
and what is this ??
Think You need a closer picture of this "old" Monday beauty
Now, that one looks like a Whitethroat - Sylvia communis
(Fingers crossed!)
The second one looks like a Barred warbler (markings on breast), perhaps the first one is a juvenile? Sylvia nisoria
Yes, the first one was a juvenile and the second one was ...
Höksångare Barred Warbler Sylvia nisoria
a not so common bird!
OK, so I was tricked again!
Well done, Rolf!
Back to the kitchen now for me.....![]()

What do you mean by 'it was too easy'?
I thought long and hard...![]()
Well, let us see what this Monday Bird will tellthink loong - it is easy I think. A great bird. You ever seen one ?
Not that easy to spot![]()
Not 100% sure, but will take a guess at Short-eared Owl, Asio flammeus.

That handsome chap appears to be a Rook - Corvus frugilegus.
