Here is a new bird ! Not that hard to find I hope
Nope, not that hard at all, Mistle thrush - Turdus viscivorus. :)
Well-guessed by that Viking!;)
Yes I think You guys have a lot of Viking genes in Your genom They had some good times in Britannia
and the bird was, of course a Dubbeltrast Mistle Thrush Turdus viscivorus
Stay tuned
Here is today´s dish
I think it's a female Siskin - Carduelis spinus
I wouldn't argue against that Catherine, lovely little birds.
Well done Dr Watson
Grönsiska Eurasian Siskin Carduelis spinus :D
This next one is a beautiful bird !
Looks like a Grey Heron Chris. Ardea cinerea
Sure is Rolf. A nice bird (and big) :D
Gråhäger Grey Heron Ardea cinerea
We have the same name in Swedish
That was quick so I better give You guys a Saturday Bird as well :thumbsup:
So, You need a better picture ?
Well that looks like a Goshawk Chris, Accipiter gentilis.
What a fantastic photo - that second one - just like the bird we often see on the way to Christchurch.
I'm sure it's a Goshawk too!:)
Sure is, great picture of a grand bird :D
Duvhök Northern Goshawk Accipiter gentilis :thumbsup:
Here is a lovely bird, can You tell me what it is ???
Well this is a difficult one, looks like a juvenile finch of some sort, but could be one of several.:)
Yes, they do look-a-like
Here is a new pic, maybe it can help on the way....
Female Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniclus ?
Certainly not :1syellow1:
You really enjoyed saying that!
OK, so it's back to the Boys' Club again!:D
Well the only one that I can find which matches is a North american bird, the Pine Siskin, Carduelis pinus.
Certainly is not :eek: but not that far away.:conf40:
Linnet (f) - Carduelis cannabina ?
Hint :
We are talking about a bird, sitting in the same tree but in Sweden !!
OK, how about Pine Bunting, Emberiza leucocephalos?
Good You did find the tree :D
Tallsparv Pine Bunting Emberiza leucocephalos :thumbsup:
Well done !
Here is a new "stranger"
Really had to search for this one, if it's what I think it is, we don't get them here, think it's a Shore Lark, Eremophila alpestris.
I think you're right!
Just couldn't see the yellow in the shadows.:(
(Don't know where Holkham Gap in Norfolk is, but there seem to be four there just now - a bit too far for you to travel to I guess, Rolf! Norfolk Ornithologists Association / FrontPage )
I, however, think You are wrong, both of You :014:
Sorry (he wrote with a smile) :eek:
I´ll give You a better picture mon amis :D
It's a tricky one then.:)
Another name for that bird is Horned Lark, but since you've discounted Rolf's Latin name for it as well......
I'll have to leave it to the master to find. :(
Wow, actually I did not read the Latin name:eek: It was a mistake I can tell (now)
So, really
It is a Berglärka Horned Lark Eremophila alpestris
It is strange that the bird has more than one name. It has happened before and will (I am sure) happen again.
So I have to change from wrong - right:D and also add Well done Rolf and Catherine showing the second Horned name !
Anyway, stay tuned there will be a new fresh problem tomorrow.
Well, I can not see any nameproblems with this bird !
Ah, errr', 'um.... could it be a Blackcap?:D
(Sylvia atricapilla)
Splendid !
Svarthätta Blackcap Sylvia atricapilla :D
Well done !:thumbsup:
An easy starter for a Monday ! :thumbsup:
No cheating is allowed - so don´t read the jpg-name :D
Looks like a Nutcracker, Nucifraga caryocatates.
