thrush , Poland, (1 Viewer)

Michał Jaro

Well-known member
I'm wondering about one thrush seen a few days ago (Poland, Podhale) - the distinct white eyebrow would indicate a Redwing, but the bird has quite large beak, and definitely not rusty/red on the side - but yellowish (visible in all shots). Can you say something with such poor photos?

Thats not so obvious. When you enlarge the best quality photo - you can see the twigs, but the bird's flank seems to be without streaking. Yes, I know, the photo quality leaves much to be desired .....

Apologies but that’s not entirely true- in the other images you can actually see the streaking when the bird is in another position.
 
It may be so, it may also be small twigs, we will never know. Unfortunately, the dense forest and wetlands prevented me from following the bird.
But probability indicates redwing .

Thanks again !!
