    Anthus spec. from Egypt?

    Hello, I discovered this bird on March 27, 2024 in Egypt, also in Hughada, in a hotel park. It could probably be a pipit? Best regards Heifer

    Curruca crassirostris from Egypt?

    Hello, I discovered this bird on March 28, 2024 in Egypt, Hughada, in a hotel park. It could probably be a warbler. I provide a link to a video clip on my homepage: https://tiersichtungen.de/picture.php?/10872/category/3728 Best regards Heifer

    Anarhynchus from Egypt

    Hello, I observed several sand-plovers near Marsa Alam (Egypt) a month ago. Could you help identify these birds at the species level? Someone suggested Anarhynchus atrifrons on iNaturalist, so I just want to confirm or disprove this ID. Thank you for your insight!

    Ospreys at peace

    While walking the other day at a place I wont locate due to recent warnings of hunters, I saw these two beautiful Ospreys. At first I thought they were nesting right there, but couldnt imagine it. When I checked the picture closer, I saw the barbed wire between the sticks.
