unknown plover? / Austria (1 Viewer)

[Gunner92]

Hi,

I took this picture in the NP Neusiedlersee/Austria yesterday because I couldn´t identify the bird. But still I have no idea, maybe a Golden or Grey Plover?


- I left the two little ringed Plovers in the background in the picture, so the size of the unknown one gets more clear -


Thanks for any help

Looks good for Grey with that bill.

 

[ian hamilton]

yes grey plover.

 

[chris butterworth]

As Ola says , looks right for Grey, particularly with that bill.

p.s. Most people who speak English as a second language are far better at it than people born here. Austrian-English is probably far more understandable than a lot of our dialects - even to us

got another one

Hi,

there were several reports of Pygmy Cormorants in the area by Club300 members? In my opinion this has to be one beside the coot, isn´t it?

 

[lou salomon]

sure is a pygmy.

 

[phil baber]

Agreed.

Cool,

that´s my 200 species!

Harvest and spring are still the best seasons to look for something uncommon.


Thanks to all, who helped identifying,

cheers
