    Skylark or not Skylark ?- thats the question

    Skylark or not Skylark ?- thats the question :) Why am I asking? - it seems the bird has contrasting black median coverts, quite bright top (mantle, wing), short bill , and delicate lines on the side of the breast. Maybe some southern lark ? I wish :) Poland, Podhale, today

    Gull with an enlarged white patch on the wing

    Hi At the end of March I noticed a seagull with an enlarged primaries patch - it covers not 2 but 3 primaries (illusion?). Additionally, the wing coverts and primaries are somewhat pale. But is everything normal here for Caspian?

    Lesser black-backed gull?

Also, when observing the bird, I had the impression that it was noticeably darker - is it a Lesser black-backed gull? miejsce - Polska , Podhale, kilka dni temu. Additionally, it seems that the...

    Rock pipit

    I will write briefly - due to the distinct white eye ring and the lack of a distinct eyebrow, I suspect rock pipits. Two different birds in the photos. Place - Poland, Podhale, date: beginning of September. What's your opinion?

    an unknown voice - but distinctive

    28 may this year (Podhale Poland) I recorded a voice that was unusual for me. It seems to be a bird, I'm not sure. One good thing can be said about it - very characteristic. The environment is a small forest next to a gravel pit, with many meadows around. What do you think?

    gull with a black eye

    Location - Podhale, October 8. This time it doesn't seem to be a Caspian gull. Black eye, missing bright stripe on the wing, dark underside. But the yellow-legged gull is also out of the question - you can see the window on the wing. So ...?

    request for help in identifying a bird (probably an owl) by its voice

    Poland Podhale 28 april this year. Hello, I only have a voice, is it an owl, what kind?It's about the voice at the end of the recording (although the screeching in the middle may also come from the same bird), I assume it's an owl, but I don't know. The voice seems to be similar to that of a...

    not Skylark, but ... what

    While thinking about this bird (April 23 this year, Podhale Poland), I came to the conclusion that this shape (stout, short, small beak) excludes a skylark, but it is definitely some kind of skylark. What ? (and am I even thinking correctly ?). Sorry for the photos quality.

    thrush , Poland,

    I'm wondering about one thrush seen a few days ago (Poland, Podhale) - the distinct white eyebrow would indicate a Redwing, but the bird has quite large beak, and definitely not rusty/red on the side - but yellowish (visible in all shots). Can you say something with such poor photos?

    Curious falcon

    What do you think about this falcon? strongly barred breast, dark underwing coverts, strongly, black striped flight feathers form a net, striped tail, dark wing tips. Eleonora's falcon came to mind, but this species is almost impossible in southern Poland. The falcon was small, at first I didn't...

    strange falcon

    Poland Podhale, midlle of the August. I wonder about this falcon - it probably flew with a kestrel. Fairly uniform on top, with a few distinct stripes on the rectrices, without a broader stripe at the end (as in kestrels). Underwing coverts and underside clear white, probably without any...
