    Madrid- Imperial eagle?

    Sorry for the quality of the photo. IE occur commonly where I took the photo, hence my bet. Why such a short tail? Is it moulding?

    N Greece. Birds at sea

    December- I would like to have these birds' ids confirmed. I'll have a try: A: Caspian Gull, (although its bill seems to me a bit small and the eye too large for a CG). B and C: Horned Grebes? D and E: Black-necked Grebe? It looks like it caught its mouth with a fishing lure of sorts, but in...

    Greece. Waders

    I'm never sure about waders. I just see too few of them. January. From left to right are 2 and 4 Little Stints and 3 a Dunlin? And 1? Thank you!

    Greece. Pink gull

    In December I took this picture of a Ruff among a flock of Black-Headed Gulls. When I looked at the picture later, I noticed the pink-chested one. It's just another BHG, I assume but is it a real rarity? I assume its pink colour is due to its diet, but shouldn't be many more with the same...

    N Greece. Birds of prey

    Lake Kerkini NP in December. They are all likely different birds although pics 18 and 19 might be of the same one. I would say 13, 15 and 18 are Greater-Spotted Eagles, a species which occurs in the NP. I can't pronounce myself on the standing birds, pics 12 and 19, also GSEs? Pic 20 is very...

    Romania. Bittern?

    Last week. A lake surrounded by a sea of reeds. A large, brownish bird slowly flying straight and landing in the midst of the reeds. By elimination, I would say it is a Bittern, what else could it be? You will make my day, by the way, if you confirm it :sneaky:. Thank you!

    Romania. Confirmation

    Last week. My guesses: 1) Willow Tit. Judging by the whitish wing panel. 2) Ural Owl. Based on large size, and yellow bill, but shouldn't I expect a longer tail? Thank you!

    Romania. Rough-legged buzzard?

    Carphatians, last week. Ugly overcast wintery day, hence the quality of the photos. I wonder if this could be a RLB for the following: a) It clearly hovered a couple of times (see pic. 1) b) It seemed to me larger than a common buzzard. I first took it for an eagle. c) Very marked and...

    Armenia. Summer. Pipit

    Reviewing old photos, I came across this one. Is it a tawny pipit? Thank you!

    Denmark. Confirmation

    Mid- August. Could you please confirm my attempts at identifying these two friends? Pics 1, 2 and 3 are one bird. Tree pipit? Pics 4 and 5 are from another. Linnet? Thanks!

    Denmark. Curlew Sandpiper?

    August. The length and shape of its bill points to CS, doesn't it? Thank you!

    Denmark. More waders

    Mid-August. Some of these birds are the same as in my previous post. The two pics show the same birds. My attempts: 1. A Ruff at the bottom of the photo. 2. Another Ruff,, orange legs, above it. But isn't it much larger than the first one? 3. Two Curlew Sandpipers on top. One of them was the...

    Denmark. A Tern and waders

    Mid August. Bad pictures again, but I think the birds can be identified. My attempts: 1- Arctic Tern? 2. (from left to right) 2a Gotwit? Black-tailed? 2b Red knot? 2c Ruff? 2d Little Stint? 3. Kentish Plover? I'm very thankful for all your replies. I think the right protocol is...

    Denmark, corvids and waders

    Last week on an island. My guesses: 1, 2 (two differentt birds) I would say Ravens, particularly clear the first one, but I want to rule out juvenile Rooks. 3. Probably unidentifiable. No more pics, I'm afraid. The third one from the left shows a reddish body. Maybe, Red Knots or Sanderlings...

    Denmark. Duck

    Last week in a lake. Another far, far away picture. My apologies! The bird on the right, looks like... a)Female Red- Breasted Pochard. Yes, only the species should not occur in Denmark. b)Female Garganey. c) Female Common Scoter. But all by herself in a lake? Which do you think? Thanks in...

    Denmark. Ducks

    Last week, a lake in the interior of Jutland. Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures! 1. Greylag and Common Teals? 2. Gadwall between the Greylags? 3. Spoonbills in the front, Gadwall behind them? The fourth bird with its head in the water, unidentifiable. 4. I don't know. Thank you one...

    Denmark. Siberian chiffchaff?

    Hi, last week, this bird (I think the same in the two pictures) has some unusual features for a chiffchaff: quite pale legs, absence of green or yellow, noticeable eye ring. I wonder if it fits into Siberian. Thanks!

    Denmark. Tufted Ducks?

    Hi, 3 different birds in a lake in Jutland last week. Lots of Tufted Ducks around. Are these also Tufted? The idea they could be Greater Scaups crossed my mind. Thanks in advance.

    Denmark, sea birds

    Hello! Last week at sea. I'm not familiar with these birds, so I thought I'd better have their identity confirmed. The birds were far away. My guess: 1- Female Common Scoter. 2.3 and 4- Common Eider, although its white patches don't quite add up. Pictures 3 and 4 are the same bird. Thanks!

    Denmark . Warblers

    Hello! Last week's pictures. My bets are: 1,2,3 Chiffchaff 4,5 I don't know what this bird is. Its fluffy plumage seems to hint at a chick. A chiffchaff, maybe? Thank you!

    Bucharest. Gulls

    Both Yellow-legged and Caspian Gulls are found in Romania. Are these three all YLGs? Are the yellow eyes in pic 2 and 3 a fully distinctive feature? Thank you!

    Bucharest woodpeckers

    Yesterday's photos in a park in central Bucharest. 1-, 2 Syrian Woodpecker? The lack of a continuous black stripe around the neck seems to hint that, although I've read that juvenile Great Spotted Woodpeckers sometimes share that feature. 3. Middle- Spotted Woodpecker? Thanks a lot!

    Ethiopia. Canary

    Somewhere between Lake Tana and Lalibela in summer. Just this one picture. I would say it is a Yellow-crowned Canary (flavivertex) judging from range and appearance. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Banff, Canada. Confirmation

    Some more birds from my trip to Banff- Jasper in summer. My attempts: 1- Savannah Sparrow 2- Lesser Scaup 3- Sharp-shinned Hawk 4- Cooper's Hawk 5- White-winged Crossbill. I don't know it a front view is enough to tell White-winged from Red Crossbills. I have no side-view photo of this bird...
