    French Harrier

    Thanks for your comments. The picture was taken early december. Too late for a Monty, and as "dwatsonbirder" said the primaries are wrong for this hypothesis. The hypothesis of a first winter male Hen Harrier was the first idea of the observer who saw this bird. But, I never saw and I cannot...

    Twite in Bulgaria?

    Clearly not a Little Bunting IMO : no rusty tone on the head and mantle, no black stripe on the head... I'm seeing only one tertial, and the pattern of this one fit Corn Bunting, and no other species of bunting...
