Medicinal Birding
Hi everyone,
Photographed these this morning near my house in Ankara.
I am torn between Rock and Cirl on the bunting. Few yellow feathering around wing bend and more extensive streaking suggest Cirl to me but this would be rather unusual here. Stumped.
The flycatcher, which unfortunately remained silent during our brief encounter, shows the warm brown upperparts of an E. Pied but the pale rump patch of a Collared. Similarly, the primary base patch on the left wing is perfect for E. Pied while the one on the right extends past the primary coverts and also apparently extends rather significantly to P5 (unless I'm counting the primaries wrong). Dare I suggest a hybrid?
Thanks in advance, hope everyone is well
