    Hi all

    Long time no see, I doubt I still know anyone around here (or anyone remembers me :P ) We finally - after some very taxing Globe hopping in the last 2 years - have settled in the US of A, Texas to be more precise. Hope to be around more often come Spring and get back into birding. I miss it :-)...

    Siskin? Mayen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany

    I know, the photos more than suck, not much I can do :-( By some dark heads and yellow spots at the wings, rumps and tails I figured this might be Siskins though. Any takers? Thanks for trying & B (: Nicole

    Any ideas on this fellow? Hybrid or am I just too blind (again) to find him in the Collins.... Taken 2 weeks ago. Thanks & B (: Nicole

    Weird Chaffinch (?), Germany

    Hi there, have seen this Chaffinch couple doing the spring thing in April. Sorting through the photos today, I think that the male looks a bit strange. Greenish back, big white shoulder patch and the yellow patch on the wing. Maybe I am having a dumb moment, so be easy on me ;-) B (: Nicole

    Dead bird ID, Kuwait

    German Ornithologist dead

    This week a German Ornithologist died in the field. Froze to death, because he got stuck in clay. He repeatedly went into a forbidden area of clay fields. This time he stepped on thin ice and sunk in hip deep, got stuck and froze to death. Ugh :-( Rest in peace... German article

    Which Plover, Kuwait

    Hi folks, I know crappy shot (early morning, 200mm,...)... but could this possibly be a Golden Plover? I know it is far fetched. Guess I am missing out on another obvious option again :) Thanks & B (: Nicole

    Ducky di duck,..., Germany, Eifel

    Hi folks, have seen these fellows end of November in the Eifel. I hazard a guess at Tufted duck in the first. Second pic I think is a Red-crested Pochard in the back, Coot to the left (remembering from what was there) and the one to the right a fem. Tufted duck, adult winter? Thanks & B (: Nicole
