For once for my answers (above), I deliberately didn't look at any of the other posts - whizzed the scrollbar quickly so I couldn't see them Michael |

I'll give that to CJW, though the gull is a Med...well I assume its a Med, I was looking at the Whiskered Tern, in the Coto Donana.
and yes its the Quendale Pallas' Sandgrouse... The Sandplover was the Walney one. When I went to see it its ID was contentions, its looks as Greater as you could possible be now. Another one tonight? Round 2 on its way Last edited by Jane Turner : Monday 17th November 2003 at 21:26. |

The tie breaker comes with additional lines marking the end of the tertials and primaries.....
This will be the last for a few days..... |

Jane,
Is that the Walney sandplover? Looks like that bird, which was the first real rarity I ever twitched. Stephen. |

1. Spectacled Warbler (sticking to my guns in the face of everyone elses knowledge!)
4. Isabelline Shrike - don`t ask which form (toyed with the idea of Blaearic Woodchat Shrike but tail does seem too rufous and contrasting) 5. Want to say Blyths Reed Warbler - but not happy with eye ring & pale lower mandible - but primaries look too bunched for Marsh Warbler - will think again on this one.

No one has beaten two yet... these are proving harder than expected, though 5 is a bit of a lottery

#1 - is the picture defective?
There's nothing on the WPal list with rufous-brown forehead to top of crown, broad plain grey eyestripe angled up to the rear crown, brown cheeks, and three bright orange-red spots on an otherwise blackish-brown wing Michael |
