    Triller, Sulawesi

    Thanks Larry Yes, photos suggest both species options are quite variable, and see for example the comments here, which I checked for comparative photos: http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?Bird_ID=2305&Bird_Image_ID=82577 Any further opinions gratefully received. mr.p

    Triller, Sulawesi

    Thanks all for the input thus far, much appreciated. We were using the generally excellent Eaton et al guide, but this bird caused split opinion. Unfortunately no more pics because this one dropped straight out of the back of the tree immediately after this shot, and never reappeared. mr.p

    Turtle or Common dove (Romania)

    Ringtail Harrier UK

    Thanks all. Fwiw field Id wasMonties. I was interested whether the photos alone could be used for positive identification, but it seems they are too poor from the comments here. All three ringtails are candidates where this was photographed, all would be a very good record in June. Was...

    Steppe Eagle? Simien Mountains, Ethiopia

    I've been struggling too. No. Of primaries in 'hand' wrong for Steppe, and what does the white on the back mean? Unfortunately can only look on phone screen currently, and no references to hand. Will take another look when back home. Mr.p

    Birdguides new system

    I really miss the simplicity of the old system. It was so easy to check what was in county, and there was no scrolling through pages and pages of Ospreys.... Mr.p
