Lakescape -48 : You Too Commoner (Actitis hypoleucos ; Tringa ochronus)

An early Bird with
a fresh arrival...
Green S.P. was present in the
area on 2.8.11 ...
...and the Common S.P. was
captured with the Fresh
Arrivals on 18.8.11.
Coming from the same
Geographical areas (Presumably )
they might have shared a
space in summer...
Here they seem to be surprised
to see each other ...
Hybridization between these two
species is known.
Habitat
Wetland and Paddy Fields
Location
Distt. Gurgaon ; Haryana ;India
Date taken
18.08.2011
Scientific name
Actitis hypoleucos ; Tringa ochronus
Lovely interaction-at-a-distance there. In general a lovely series. More lakescapse, please :t: :t: And thanks (with a sigh) for the info. I guess it's some comfort that they have trouble telling one another apart too. Makes it less embarrassing when I have trouble. But still ... they even hybridize??!! How can I ever hope to get them straight? :eek!:

Another wonderful Lakescape Alok and Renu.

Hybridization between these two
species is known.

I didn't know that. The things we learn here is amazing.

I'd love to get a shot like this, Alok. Very nice indeed. Both birds look a little worse for wear. I hope they can rest up now and get their plumage back up to scratch.
 
Double beauties, hope they fall in love with each other at their first sight (if their sexes were right) so that we may be see some hybrid kids shots from you, Alok!
 
They certainly look like they're weighing each other up, keeping a crafty eye on each other, super Peep double capture Alok.
 
You would also be surprised if you met your neighbour half across the world,Alok!! ;); Great shot my friend. :t:
