Medicinal Birding
Hello,
I saw this bird at Uludağ, Turkey (S Marmara) where both Common and Pallid are known to breed. I'm pretty sure it's a Pallid but would like some other opinions, especially considering juvenile Common. Can they ever show such a distinct eye mask?
I know the photos are bad (and the most crucial two are out of focus) but I think they give a good idea about the bird. It glided a lot and barely flapped its wings during the time I watched it. Photos are completely unedited btw.
As always thanks for your help, which I'm really looking forward to!
