Bearded Tit?

Bearded Tit?

Yep.

This is an amusing but terrible digiscoped shot of a Caspian Gull that a friend and I found years back, the first for Cork. I did get 'better' ones on the ground.

 

[Tired]

Not my home country and I haven't seen the species but is it a Ruby-crowned Kinglet?

John

It is indeed! There were two males in the area, rapidly hopping around and displaying at each other. Hence my difficulty in photographing him. I have some much nicer photos of him from before the other male arrived and got him all excited.

I thought my brother was a bit silly to have tried this shot (City of London, March 6th this year - large raptor shown off the premises by adult female peregrine and moving away NW) as the target had to have been over 1.2km away. But it's pretty amazing the reach modern superzooms have.

Presumably one of the IOW releases, but that's a White-tailed Eagle.

Of the pictures I saved, this must rank among the worst. Two birds off Helgoland.

Is one a Frigatebird?

 

[Maffong]

Is one a Frigatebird?

A Frigatebird in Germany would be very much appreciated. The birds in the picture can be identified most easily by the precise location next to that orange buoy. Most Germans would be possible to identify the birds by that alone

 

[Xenospiza]

The Helgoland birds are Black Guillemots. Indeed most easily found by looking for that buoy!

Back home from a family Christmas and into the archives... Less convinced that this one is identifiable. Again, it is over 30 years ago & my only sighting of the species. Is it identifiable by anyone?

All the best

Here's the best shot I got of this particular bird on May 7th of this year. Not a rarity for southern Ontario, just a few days early in arriving.

Blackburnian Warbler? Love those.

Cape May Warbler?

Yes, Cape May Warbler.

That one is easy...

Easy one!

Great idea for a thread. I imagine this one will be fairly easy, but I submit it in the spirit that it is a truly awful image and it's the only one I've ever managed to get of this species.

Now that is a view that would wet my lips!

Welll done, WP.
I remember that as one of my most frustrating bird photography encounters. I spent ages waiting for it to show half-decently but had no luck.

I've got a few, and I'll push them out one at a time so there's no doubt about which we are talking about. In fact perhaps it would be a good thing if the congregation identifies each before I move on to the next. First up:



All the images are in Britain.
