[lou salomon]

[very boring banned member]

51 correct.
52 not. Try again.
53 not that good singer.
54 read post 102 again and think hard.
56 yes, but I saw what You deleted. One more point for Branta leucopsis, who has suddenly in ten years spread on Finnish S coasts, and is semitame park bird now here on many locations.
57 (actually 58) was sorted by Dimitris.
60 rubberduck likes to breed in a ground hole.

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

60 - Tadorna tadorna
my last resort for the disco one: Anas discors.
commie- blackbird

 

[very boring banned member]

Good! 54 & 60 to Hanzel (Anas discors = blue-winged teal; Tadorna looks like something from plastic factory).

Commie sprouts from scientific name.

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

Sylvia communis

 

[lou salomon]

Sylvia communis

Hanzel. you're beating me with every post. I go to sleep at 4:30 and you guys trick me out. Sylvia c. is the only communis i can think of, also.
mr. bou

53 (commie) point to Jurij. One left: 52. Whadda heck is bowling ball? If I told You what colour its bill is, this would be too easy.

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

52. Fulica atra

By the way, happy birthday, Lou!

 

[very boring banned member]

52. Fulica atra

:clap: Hanzel continues scoring, being again the winner in last ten.

64. istti
65. kvitiko
66. kääkkä
67. liyky

61. Actitis hypoleucos

 

[very boring banned member]

61. Actitis hypoleucos

Not this one.

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

Ok, then it's no. 69.
But I think these names are absolutely too hard for me, just look at the discrepancies at onomatopoetic barking (woof woof, hov hov (Slovene), wan wan (Japanese) and wof wof (Swedish)).

 

[lou salomon]

thanx for good wishes...
61. tringa totanus
62. phylloscopus collybita or even tringa erythropus but since next could be:
63. phylloscopus trochilus
64. regulus regulus
65. porzana porzana
66. garrulus glandarius
68. dryocopus martius
69. actitis hypoleucos (agree with Jirij)
70. pyrrhula p. (I know I'm wrong with this again)

69 correct, but Jurij was quicker, sorry.
61 in Finland this always sings on the top of Picea abies.
62 this feels at home in reedbeds.
63 close. In Finnish June, this starts singing at midnight.
64 this one does not fancy trees.
65 this one does like shores, but more stony ones.
66 this one is for Pete.
68 amazing resemblance: Dryocopus' eye looks like the correct one's!
70 amazingly close (by DNA, voice, colour, wingbar)

 

[lou salomon]

69 right. In Finland Canis familiaris says hau hau.
in Romania too! (german dogs say wau wau)


61 tringa glareola
62 porzana porzana for huitti? can't think of any other reedbirdthing doing huit
63 phylloscopus collybita - or not that close?
64 anthus pratensis
65 calidris maritima (haven't seen/heard yet!)
66 (dacelo novaeguineae) oh no, now I realized who is THE Pete, so I go for:
anas platyrhynchos, the woman!
68 accipiter nisus
70 loxia leucoptera

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

I'm bluffing with this one (65), maybe Arenaria interpres????

61 no - this is a passerine.
62 correct. Official Finnish name is luhtahuitti.
63 no - collybita sings strictly in daylight.
64 correct.
65 no.
66 correct (Anas).
68 no. Another amazing resemblance with Your earlier suggestion: overall colour.
70 correct.

Correct. Now how did You bluff that?

Unsoleved:
61. hidi
63. hyitti
67. liyky. (This bird's left leg is red).
68. njakka

 

[lou salomon]

68 - Corvus monedula ( the ONLY other bird with overall black AND yellowish, actually whitish eye)
61 - I try with Phoenicurus phoenicurus
63 - Locustella naevia (but why then hyitti?????)
67 - bloodfoot again?
