    rechecking pipit ID, romanian black sea coast, 29th septermber 2015

    pic is by mihai baciu and i did ID the bird. but since most of the crucial traits are hidden it is merely a jizz thing. what would you call it? is that tail largely abraded/cut at the end? can we tell its age? obviously in fresh autumn plumage but are the pointed looking inner primary tips...

    young sparrow, date and place unknown

    these pics have been used for display charts and obviousloy have been stolen from the net. can anyone ID this young sparrow? i suppose one of the US emberizids. the gull probably is a smithsonianus but doesn't have anything to do with the sparrow-type, all randomly stolen from the net.

    Montague's Harrier? Danube Delta

    hi there, took this pic of a juv harrier in danube delta on 2.09.2014. shawl and collar and somewhat wing formula made me think pallid but rel. large white eye crescents and especially the clear dark trailing edge to inner primaries made me sway towards monty's. all pics lightened.

    hi, among a scattered flock of about 12 white wagtails resting and feeding on the banks of bodensee/rhine river i saw this striking indvidual. first impression was - wow, a pied wagtail (which is a vagrant here). however, already when viewing it through bins it was clear that it was no clearcut...

    common tern? romania, black sea coast, september 1st

    hi, this should be a 1cy common tern. but it has an all black bill and dark trailing edge to primaries looks very narrow. anyone feeling confident to rule out 100% arctic tern on these pics? thanks

    reed warbler, germany

    hi, not questioning the ID, it was a singing male reed warbler in SW germany. it just says that reed warbler has a primary projection of 70-95% (harris/tucker) or 70-100% (van duivendijk). i have measured 63% here - what did i do wrong? abraded (or raised) greater coverts, tertials etc? i'm not...

    1cy gull, transilvania

    hi, what do you make of this smallish gull (sorry no better pics yet), taken 21.10.2009 by joszef szabo senior in eastern transilvania (romania). tomorrow he promised he will send some more, possibly clarifying this dilemma: after seeing the first pic there seemed no doubt - baltic gull: very...

    baird's or temminck's

    well, i'm not sure if these recent pics on 'tarsiger' really show the same bird but it seems like. in that case our finnish fellowbirders seem to have a dissense. http://www.tarsiger.com/images/Bruun/CALBAI001H.jpg http://www.tarsiger.com/images/Bruun/calbaivuonos_01.jpg...
