    Hi, Is this a mix of Ross's and Snow goose? The one to the left looks larger than the following geese. The bill and head also looks longer. Especially number four from the left looks smaller with shorter bill. Picture number two is a cropped version. Any thoughts? :)

    Wader, Mølen, S.Norway 27.08.

    Hi, Saw this guy at Mølen, southern Norway, a good site for spotting migratory birds in the autumn. My first thought was Green Sandpiper, due to the dark and spotted pattern on it's back, but then the white extending up towards the neck of the bird is more like Common Sandpiper. Also, the...

    Cuckoo? SE. Norway, may 21

    Hi, Just caught this one on camera before it disappeared in the distance. From the bill, eyes and general shape I think it could be the Common Cuckoo. However, I'm not sure enough to say that it can not be a bird of prey - and several of those frequent the area - the last few days the...

    Bird, SE. Norway, May 18

    Hi, Took these pictures yesterday evening in a local reserve. I can't even decide if it is a duck or a wader, or "something entirely different". Looking at picture 1, it looks like it has got the same dark color and white stripe on the underside of the wings as well as the top. Sorry about the...

    Warbler, SE. Norway, May 12

    Hi, This warbler landed right outside my door this evening. It stayed around for a few minutes. The most common warbler in Norway is the Willow warbler.

    Owl, S. Norway, April 13

    Hi, Checked my trail camera today, and was very excited to find that an owl visited my bird feeding area in the forest. It was there on April 13 at about 21:47 - probably looking for rodents which come there to eat seed leftovers. The bird landing on the tree started the recording. I've...

    Crossbills, s. Norway, January

    Hi, There are two species of crossbill in Norway, the Common and the Parrot. I find it hard to tell them apart in the field, even with a guide book, so if you have any tips I'm happy to learn. The images are from a mixed pine/spruce forest. Thanks!

    Warbler, s. Norway, April 16

    Hi, This warbler was in a tall tree, almost constantly calling, short and even tweets. Sounded like a Willow warbler's call, but I'd like to hear from you experts :) Thanks!

    Common Chiffchaff? S. Norway, apr 10

    Hi, Got a glimpse of this warbler in southeastern Norway today. When I took the picture it had just swallowed a juicy looking bug. The Common Chiffchaff was seen at the same location earlier today. Based mainly on the dark legs, Common Chiffchaff is my bet for this one as well. Am I right...
