[Progne Subis]

Tristram's Warbler?

 

[Tri-Counties Birder]

I'll go against the grain and say Long-tailed Tit.

This is a tough one, Ody. I'm tempted to say Rock Bunting but I don't like the fact it's on what seems to be a birch twig, so I'll go with Remiz Pendulinus, Penduline Tit.

A hint! Sometimes we don't see what is in front of our eyes...
In the afternoon I'll be back with one more pic.

It would be very unfair to ask which one!
Here the hole pic.

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

You gave a good hint, Ody! It just goes to show that even species as common as a Tree Sparrow can be tricky from some angles; nice one.

 

[lou salomon]

i know how common tree sparrows are in the wider balkan area; sadly they're quite rare here in stuttgart and i think in england too

Passer montanus and Passer domesticus are not rare in Greece.

 

[lou salomon]

are you pulling our leg, ody? i see only passer hispaniolensis (beautiful they are) at least concerning the males...

 

[bitterntwisted]

The quiz bird is Tree (montanus), but the big group shot is surely all Spanish Sparrows (hispaniola)?

You are right, Graham! Here a funny pic of a hispaniolensis! And in the second pic House sparrows.
