Would've went for...

1 turnstone
2 juv ?chat
3 ?
4 lesser whitethroat

Bear in mind I've never heard of most of the species you lot are always mentioning! (we don't get lesser whitethroats either but it looks whitethroaty and I don't think it's a common.)

 

[shrikebirder]

First two are indeed Temmink's stint and YRW. Last two are wrong but both birds have been said-- just not for the right one!

 

[nickderry]

so the last one isn't spectacled or whitethroat then ????

Surely No.4's a Speccy..?? That would've been my guess for No.3 as well.

Actually number 4 is a speccy, taken in lanzarote - after having identified it by the tertial pattern and then being told it wasn't a speccy I had a look on Juan Sagardia's excellent website, and here is the next bird in the sequence - can't find the photo from here though, so maybe it's been miscaptioned on another site.

No 3 is a speccy. Sorry about 4, was supposed to be sardinian!

 

[nickderry]

lol, and this is titled "easy quiz"! ;-)

 

[shrikebirder]

Sorry for delay LOL!

 

[s. james]

OK guesses: red-necked stint/sanderling, least sandpiper, wheatear and ?

 

[tjbirdofprey]

temmincks stint for no 2?

 

[nickderry]

I agree with S James, including the ? for the last one, I could see it as a locustella, so I'll go for gropper to start with .

 

[Th_SQ]

Agree with first three.

Locustella is my feeling too. Since it also looks like a little like a Sedge (and to be different) I'll say Pallas's rather

 

[s. james]

I agree with S James

Agree with first three.

o Woohoo! Might actually have got a few at last! OK I admit (never having seen the species) I looked the first two up in the Collinsguide, but I got the wheatear (hopefully it is one now!) independently.

But which do u's think the first one is; red-necked or sanderling?

Of course we could all be wrong:-C...

 

[Th_SQ]

Of course we could all be wrong:-C...

At least someone will be wrong

 

[shrikebirder]

1. is a red necked stint.
2. least sandpiper
3. not a wheatear
4. Pallas's Gropper

 

[nickderry]

by not a wheatear, do you mean it's not a Northern Wheatear or not one of the wheatears?

I think I understand what I've written!
