ABC Birds (2 Viewers)

You must have seen Brown TB elsewhere @delia todd ? That's the commonest urban Thornbill in much of temperate Oz.

I'm lucky enough to have both as daily visitors in my new backyard since we moved somewhere only half a mile or so from the edge of a large state park

 

[apbarr]

and to confuse things even further I already played Striated Thornbill

 

[delia todd]

Aaaah!!! Oh dear so you did Alex.

OK mine's done then, so we're back to needing a T LOL I've deleted my picture now.

I'll have to study my LBJ images to see if I did get a Brown... but I think that was the only record I had for it. Got an Inland in WA, but failed to get a picture of it.

 

[apbarr]

I have this one labelled as Brown Thornbill but I'm no longer 100% confident so opinions welcomed

 

[Swindon Addick]

Of course I'm hoping I saw both and will have to study all the pictures from that stay to see if I got a Brown as well. Then I'll have an extra Lifer in an armchair tick.

There can't be many occasions when someone's had an armchair tick out of playing a BirdForum game.

Join Birdforum! Meet birders; share knowledge; get ID help; get an armchair tick while doing a quiz...

Looks better for a female (or immature) Rufous Whistler.

Sorry , I'm turning ABC into Aussie BirdID Clinic 😳

 

[delia todd]

OK I'll start T again and try

Red-eared FireTail - a juvenile



Find the list of already played birds on the first page.

Thanks, thought it might be wrongly IDed

Long-wattled Umbrellabird in the remarkable San Cipriano reserve on the Pacific Coast of Colombia. Only spent two half days and a night there, should have been at least 3 days in hindsight!

 

[JLRamos]

Mistle thrush (Turdus Viscivorus)

 

[Swindon Addick]

I'm really running out of options now that we're not allowed to use a previous species for a different letter, but Whooper Swan isn't on the list yet. Photo taken in terrible light at one of the Welney evening feeds.

 

[delia todd]

No X from me I'm afraid.

 

[apbarr]

Nor me

 

[Julian Thomas]

Nor me. OK to skip on to Y then? If so, here's one:

Yellow-browed Warbler (in the hand at Portland Bird Observatory, Dorset)

 

[delia todd]

There's lot's of Zs which are available, but I've not seen them. My only one (Zebra Finch) was used ages ago!

 

[JLRamos]

I don't have Z either

 

[apbarr]

I used my only one

 

[delia todd]

OK .... I'll start the next round with

Australian Ringneck (not 100% but I think this might be the Mallee subspecies)



Beautiful, isn't he.

I'll update the list shortly.

 

[delia todd]

I've now updated the list on the first page with the last round entries.
