    Help with Pipits - UK

    Hello, do you have more pictures of Pipit B? Yes it might well be a Meadow Pipit, but Overall colouration is good for Rock Pipit (but shifted towards this by extremly high iso, camera settings and light situation?) Dark legs Yes, streaks on the underparts are distinct and sharp, but cant loose...

    Photo taken in Dublin in Ireland

    Hello Keps, its a Song Thrush imo. Brownish hues on upperparts are too warm and orangey-yellowish bits are also better for this than for a Mistle Thrush

    Pipit ID Needed Scotland.

    Hello Baldoon, yes you are right imo. Dark pure grey upperparts, lacking (warm-)olive, brownish or buffish tinge there and the smeared rounded streaks on the underparts and the dark legs makes it a Rock Pipit

    Female Kestrel, Paphos headland yesterday.

    Hello Ken, iirc, it was mentioned by William Clark in an older Limicola paper (and in his book too?) He said, that the underwing-coverts are more heavily and darker patterned than the less patterned secondaries (and primary-bases?) in Lesser, while the underwing is (often?) more uniform in...

    Hello, new to birdwatching in the garden

    Hello Codirosso, welcome to Birdforum! Yes, the left bird is a Great Tit. Your right picture is a bit more diffcult, at least for me. The left bird is no Tree Sparrow. Please note Bold white bar on the median coverts and a buffier stripe on the greater coverts. More two similar stripes in a...

    Hello everyone - White Duck

    Hey wow! Thanks Jörn! You know, I always look for features of Muscovy Duck intogression/hybridisation in domestic ducks, but didnt found one here. Is it only to elongated, spiky tail (and the just visible knob at the bill)? Or more?

    Brabant Netherlands - male Common Redstart ?

    Hello Bertus, yes its a male Common Redstart. Unique colouration, including the right palish-grey crown (and even whiter forehead, not an overlit issue here, thats how it looks in reality) contrasting with the black face (including sharp divisions)

    White or Pied Wagtail (UK)

    Hello, excellent and helpful, thanks Grahame as always and all! My question, I agree with Valéry, is can this bird identified as ssp alba with confidence? I would skip the hybrid issue, no offense you know. (yes its interesting, but it obscures some important questions here imo) My thoughts...

    Hello Michal, yes I think its some bleaching or some growth issues/bad state or nutrition during moult. But everything else looks good for an adult Caspian Gull imo. But as always you know. Thanks to Lou and all!

    Harrier and wheatear (?) -- Geiseltalsee, Germany

    Hello, can a Whinchat be excluded here? Yes, they normally sing slightly more melodious (sometimes even Thrush like), but they are so variable and regular include imitations. I cant exclude a Stonechat with confidence. And not only for the usual reasons, but also/mainly while their song is...

Please note strong dark bubblegum pinkish red legs and feet (just within variation for a slightly unusual Willow Warbler, but bad for Chiffchaff or Western Bonellis Warbler) good eye-ring with an open face just visible spikey bill...

    Photo in the gallery here Egret in Italy in Feb 2019

    Hello Niels, yes all birds are Great Egrets for me too. You can see the long gape line in the left bird, and all others are as large. Little and Cattle Egret are much smaller and have different bills.
