    Sooty or Bridled Tern(s)? | ID Requested | Australia

    My Australian bird book stresses that Bridled is paler and greyer, especially on the mantle. Where this meets the dark cap there is a significant contrast in that species. Less so in these images so agree on Sooty. Niels

    Woodpecker and Large Tree-Finch? Santa Cruz and Isabela, Galapagos March 2024

    Just so happens I have a photo in each of the two Opus pages for Tree finches. Compare https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Large_Tree_Finch https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Small_Tree_Finch Of these, the large is closer to your photo. Niels

    Tern ID Requested | Australia (1 of 3)

    I may be wrong, but I think there is too much dark in the tail for Roseate which is one of the others you put in bold. Niels

    Woodpecker and Large Tree-Finch? Santa Cruz and Isabela, Galapagos March 2024

    The bird in the grass should be a ground finch. However, it does give a long-billed impression so leaning Cactus Finch with low confidence. The second one should be a tree finch with that curvature on upper mandible, and I am thinking Large TF. Niels

    E-SIMs while abroad

    I just found a link to trustpilot and compared the responses for Airalo and Zadarma. Airalo gets really poor ratings, people saying that their account in Airalo gets hacked and the company is unhelpful. Niels
