Name a bird

[Rustydon]

Mark, maybe now we should abandon the request for a corncrake and seek summat else!

 

[markyboy.1967]

Ok lets scrub that for now. An easier one then- a Black Headed Gull.

Now can we have a common sandpiper please

 

[Rustydon]

Ok, nobody appears to have a common sandpiper - so here's one...

View attachment 23893

So, instead can we have a Sedge Warbler please

 

[guess&press]

Pity about the twig (as usual). And the forum has done something weird to it--it doesn't have that scar from a knife fight by its beak on the original.

To be topical...Pink Footed Goose.

 

[guess&press]

Oh dear--posted a pic of these myself! (#447) So while I check into hospital how about a Ring Ouzel?

Argghh I have a wood warbler but cant post yet..lol

 

[michael23]

I have huge gaps in my bird section after looking at all of this! Next years project, to catch up on birds wherever possible!

Should we copy and paste the list and update when the next species is posted?

 

[markyboy.1967]

I think it would would be to much if we did that. I think at most once a page would be enough to have the list.

 

[markyboy.1967]

Anyone got a Wood Warbler?

 

[Pitvar]

Here's one from 2011 a bit blurry but shows it in song View attachment 24077 - saw a few in North Wales this year but no decent shots - I'd like a Great Skua - Bonxie please!

 

[Mikechappers]

Got a Great Skua, but as its not my turn again yet it will have to wait

 

[Mikechappers]

No sign of a Great Skua, so if you all do not mind that it is not my go again yet, but to get the thread moving again, I will post one

Its getting hard now to think of what bird to ask for, how about a Black Throated or a Great Northern Diver

[markyboy.1967]

Seems like we don't have a Bewick's swan. Anything else instead Mex?

 

[Proud2btaff]

Think this is a Bewick

Spotted Crake

 

[mex]

just bumping this back up.

 

[markyboy.1967]

I think you will struggle with a Spotted Crake. Only saw 1 from Duck_Pond who posted one a while back.

 

[michael23]

I should have one somewhere in my archives, I shall see if I can find it.

 

[dinners]

Jeepers

Away for a few weeks and I've no hope of knowing where we're up to now.

edit - just seen the recap list above.

Well done folks.

 

[michael23]

I should have one somewhere in my archives, I shall see if I can find it.

Actually the photo I was thinking about was of a sora, not spotted crake!

 

[Rustydon]

Nigel, I think we need a different request now

Try marsh tit?

 

[BillN_33]

Not a good image, but I think that this is a Marsh ……. smallish head and small black "bib"
They usually start to appear about this time of year in our "front" garden, usually just one or two, never any more

will have to look back and see what has not been posted …… back to you in a few minutes

a difficult one next …… but maybe someone has seen a Golden Oriole, if not have we had a Tawny Owl
