    Unknown hawk - Ionian Islands, Greece

    OK, I will post a different thread once I can get the original file then. But from what I saw in the camera when I was shown the pictures the quality is pretty much the same.

    Unknown hawk - Ionian Islands, Greece

    It should be there now I think.

    Unknown hawk - Ionian Islands, Greece

    The website glitched and posted the thread before I had finished typing... But I updated it now and I think it shows complete

    Unknown hawk - Ionian Islands, Greece

    My friend was on vacation last week on Zakynthos Island (aka Zante) and they sent me this picture of a buzzard (?). I am kind of lost considering the variation in plumage in so many species of raptors, but my first guess was Long Legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus). I found this picture from Greece...

    Identify bird seen near Mam Tor Castleton

    have you considered a whinchat? I always consude them with male common redstarts. But I may be wrong. Look them up to see

    Tern species (Greece, Europe)

    thank you both, I really needed help with this one :)

    Tern species (Greece, Europe)

    On May 5th I went to a birding hotspot but not for birding (I was upset). I only managed to get these bad pictures. This is probably a lifer for me. I thought at first that it was a common tern but the swallow-like forked tail is clearly not there. I am confused because I have little experience...

    bunting (?) ID (Northern Greece)

    Oh a serin? Thank you all, I never even considered finches! Another lifer for me 😌

    bunting (?) ID (Northern Greece)

    In January 29th I saw this yellow passerine that I first thought was a yellowhammer, BUT then i realized that a lot of species look like that. It was seen in a marsh area next to the coast. It flew off before I could get better footage. Maybe i'm just overthinking again and it's just a corn...

    raptor ID (Northen Greece)

    I think maybe a falcon species and not an Accipitriformes species, because of the wing shape?? (I also cant find any Accipitriformes species that have such pale primaries, unless that is a plumage deformity? very unlikely) I saw this flying over a marsh around sea level. It flapped rather than...

    plover + small shorebird ID (Greece)

    thank you :)

    plover + small shorebird ID (Greece)

    I saw these in August of 2020 in Epanomi lagoon, near Thessaloniki. Maybe not the best time for shorebirds, but there were a few around. If you know what any of these are, please specify the number of the picture! 1 and 2 is the same individual, I think kentish plover? But not 100% sure 3 some...

    Dead raptor ID (Greece)

    we have common buzzards in the area (who doesnt honestly) and I think if it were an osprey it would have darker wings, thank you all for your help
  14. Dimitra_v

    Dead raptor ID (Greece)

    Is that so? It would have never crossed my mind. They dont have a sustaining breeding population in Greece as far as I know, but there are still some resident and some passing during migration. But if anyonehas any other suggestions I'd like to hear them too because osprey might be a bit rare

    Dead raptor ID (Greece)

    I saw this corpse washed up on the shore. I took a close-up of its talons to see if that helps with the identification. I found it in the Thermaikos gulf, Thessaloniki. Anyone know what It might be? I dont know many birds of prey, and this one is really decomposed. I just worry if it is a rare...

    possibly zitting cisticola? (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    no reports of sedge either... I looked up sage and I just didnt find anything at all lol i didnt even think of it being a typo, I am bad with english bird names

    possibly zitting cisticola? (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    okay, thanks for the clarification, I am not here that often... I ruled out moustaches warbler because of the eyestripe like you said, and I just looked up sage warbler and didnt find any past reports in the area. thank you for replying to all my posts today as well, because i've spammed a lot...

    possibly zitting cisticola? (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    looks fine for the species I suggested? I am sorry i didnt understand your reply

    possibly zitting cisticola? (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    I took a picture of this bird at a marsh yesterday. I am not sure about zitting cisticola, I think it looks too dark (may be the bad lighting, it was a cloudy day) and too chunky. But then again I dont know any passerines with a clear, unspotted chest, that would match the wing pattern and...

    passerine ID (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    okay, thank you : )
  21. Dimitra_v

    passerine ID (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    I saw this one at a wetland with lots of reeds yesterday. It looks like an emberiza species to me but I am not quite sure, because I've never seen it before. Maybe a female reed bunting? because I saw a male near there a few weeks ago.

    Raptor identification (Thessaloniki area, Greece)

    thank you. I have a very hard time with birds of prey...

    Raptor identification (Thessaloniki area, Greece)

    I saw this one today, it looks like a common buzzard, but the color variation in there birds confuses me, and I can't find many reference pictures of common buzzards with this plumage sitting down. Is there a chance that this is something else, like a european marsh harrier? (there are marsh...

    Crows - Poland

    I live in an area where we only have the hooded crow of these two species. But, never seen a hooded crow with such a dark plumage! Probably not a pure hooded crow, and most likeyly a hybrid since the two species are so closely related.

    Possibly a nightjar? [AUDIO] (Greece, europe)

    that is what I thought at first too... but my friend asked me if there is a chance that it is a bird, and then I couldnt get that thought off my mind... thank you for your reply. Yes I realised that nightjar is copmletely off the table when I found out the species was strictly migratory
