    Olivaceous Warbler or Reed Warbler

    June 17th 2020, an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler was caught and ringed at Gedser, the southernmost point in Denmark (2nd record in Denmark following the first at exactly the same spot in June 2003). Photo of the bird here: https://www.gedserfuglestation.dk/blog?post_id=1004 During the afternoon...

    Black-headed or Red-headed Bunting

    This bunting was present on October 15th 2019 at Blaavands Huk, the western most point in Denmark. The long bill seems to point to Black-headed Bunting but compared to "normal" Black-headed Buntings in Northern- and Western Europe in autumn it is quite striped on the underside. I guess the...

    White, Pied or hybrid Wagtail, Denmark

    This wagtail was photographed at Kronborg, NE-most point of Zealand, eastern part of Denmark, March 26th 2017. It appeared dark-backed in the field. The colour of the rump was not seen in the field. Pied (yarrellii) is quite rare in the eastern part of Denmark with about 5-10 records every...

    Ficedula flycatcher Qatar

    A male Ficedula flycatcher was seen and photographed by two of my friends near Al Ruwais in northern Qatar March 11th 2017. Opinions have been equally divided between Collared and Semi-collared Flycatcher (these are the only photos that exist of the bird). I wonder if anyone here can comment...

    Bennett's or Golden-tailed Woodpecker, Kruger, South Africa

    This woodpecker was seen along route 63 just south of Luvuhu River, northern Kruger, South Africa, July 17th 2011. The underside seems striped suggesting Golden-tailed and also the forecrown is dark - not red. So it is not an adult male Bennett's. I am not familiar with these woodpeckers. Any...

    'isabelline shrike' in Kazakhstan

    June 27th 2010, I photographed this Isabelline Shrike at Korgalzhyn Nature Reserve, about 150 SW of Astana, Kazakhstan. I submitted the record to ebird.org but was notified by a regional data reviewer that this bird was most likely a Turkestan. To me, it still looks like an Isabelline (ssp...

    White's or Scaly Thrush, Thailand

    This White's or Scaly Thrush was seen at Doi Lang, northern Thailand, January 5th 2012. I was wondering if it is possible to identify this bird beyond White's/Scaly. Is it at all possible to identify these two species in the field? Best regards, Andreas

    Bluetail species, Doi Lang, Thailand

    This bluetail (possibly two different individuals) was photographed on Doi Lang, northern Thailand, 5th of January 2012. Himalyan Bluetail seems like the "default species" in northern Thailand, but I guess Red-flanked is a scarce winter visitor. I have searched the internet about...

    Phylloscopus warblers from Thailand

    These four Phylloscopus warblers were photographed in northern Thailand during the winter 2011/2012. Collage 1: Davison's? Ear-coverts too clean and too prominent dark lateral crown stripes for Yellow-browed? Collage 2: Claudia's? Strong bill, two wingbars, feeding behaviour suggests...

    Shortwing sp. Doi Inthanon, Thailand

    This shortwing species was skulking in a gully behind mr. Daeng's restaurant at Doi Inthanon, Thailand, December 30th 2011 (together with a Dark-sided Thrush). We were told it was a Lesser Shortwing, but later that it had been re-identified as a White-browed. The photos are horrible, but I am...

    Bush Warbler species in Kaeng Krachan, Thailand

    December 24th 2011, this Bush Warbler was found skulking at the roadside near Bang Krang Campsite in Kaeng Krachan, Thailand. To me, it looks most like a Siberian Bush Warbler (Bradypterus davidi). But I would be grateful if anyone could comment on its idenntification. I have searched Ebird...

    Isabelline Shrike, Israel - isabellinus or phoenicuroides?

    This male Isabelline Shrike was photographed at Sede Boker, southern Israel, February 13th, 2014. I have got a few comments as to which subspecies it is. I think it is most probably an isabellinus based on the pale bill base, pale lore, and pale upperparts. However, the supercilium is quite...

    hummingbird (Allen's?), Big Sur, California

    August 6, 2013, I photographed this hummingbird at a lay-by at highway 1 in Big Sur between Monterey and Morro Bay, California. It was small (smaller than Anna's) and from the photo the tail looks short; I thought it could be a calliope. However, after checking eBird, Allen's seems to be much...

    Snipe ID Oman

    Dear all. February 12th 2015 I photographed these two snipes at Wadi Darbat, near Salalah, southern Oman. The bird in the background is a Common Snipe because of long bill. I suspected that the bird in the foreground was a Pintail Snipe because of slightly different head pattern including...
