    Chinatown Warbler

    I watched about 100 pics, but this feature is not any key feature! ;) :t:

    Chinatown Warbler

    The phenomenon of your mention detail can explain perhaps rather easily: The tips of wing brush aside the outermost utcs usually in such long winged birds like Reed. That's the one of the reason why it's more seldom visible in longer winged species than shorter winged species

    Chinatown Warbler

    Your photo shows us clearly one of Reed feature or should I say anti-Olly feature. o:D If I remember right I have said it earlier.... The length of visible tail feathers, which is measured from the tip of the outermost under tail coverts, is not very reliable feature, because the result varies...

    Chinatown Warbler

    But how you explain so long bill in this case, if the bird would be Sykes's?

    Chinatown Warbler

    I don't have enough experience in Reed Warblers and personally I don't remember to see pink legs. Also I don't know which kind of study these references based on, so I can not get answer to your question! Perhaps you should better known if you have so good experience, obviously in hundreds...

    Chinatown Warbler

    Once again: I'll try to twist from wire this explanation! Svensson (2001) says that EOW has P1 > PC 1,5-7,5 (usually 3-6), Sykes's P1 > PC 3,5-10, Booted P1 > PC 2-8 You see in the follow pics that EOW's 1P reaches from the tip of PC (d1) less than the distance between the tip of alula and...

    Chinatown Warbler

    I really wonder your point of view increasingly if you have really this mentioned experience! I have to accept that everyone does not believe the reassurance! Generally speaking, it's true that we can find people to every departure and still someone can stay in the station. I'll start to...

    Last but not least, Do we agree, that the Manchester bird is after all a small passerine, which looks yet an insect eater? ;) :t: :-O o:) o:D

    Chinatown Warbler

    Yep, but I think that these details refers more Acros and you probably think that it refers more Hippo? Regarding to claw length, there is not perhaps any specific mention to this feature in the articles, but I noticed this when I compared these species each other in photos. It seems to be...

    Chinatown Warbler

    I think that this detail (where you really invest very much time) is rather difficult to prove "give or take" in this case. Your work is profitable if we know that this supposed detail would be most relevant and mostly visible feature to differ these species in the field. The length of P1 is a...

    Chinatown Warbler

    I decided to comment on those features which you interpreted incorrectly in my mind: Post 3 There is not any real notch in the tail in reality. The shape and the depth of supposed notch reveals us that the tfs are only lined up in two sets, which I have seen many times in captured Acros. This...
