I.D's
Got your name Israel hope to see you make some initail I.D's on this Forum.
The picture was of poor quality, Keith with his experience of Birding should have been able to id this bird in the field, bird in a flock and photographed a male Linnet, however Finches mix in flocks.
I quickley suggested Corn Bunting (note looks like) which then got the discussion going, I identify lots of Natural history on these threads most correctly, I can't be expected to go into detail straight away on every species.
Most of those on the I.D Forum have identified by gis with no back up, at least you tried to point out something on the tail but never said anymore, yes I did note the Bird had a tail.
I believe 2 on the I.D forum said a pale Grey bill which I can't see that myself and Wheateasrp said he can see pale Grey on the bill but the light has had an effect on the bill, usually light on the bill, colour would be bleached out.
If you see a rare bird and put into the relevant County Recorder or BBRC
reason for I.D -gis of the bird, the record would be thrown in the bin.
Hope to see some of the fence sitters on this site and other sites make a few initail i.d's and suggestion even if it's incorrect, to start things going, instead of putting in an I.D after several others have already suggested the same, like Sheep flocking for safety.
Views suggest now the bird probably is a Linnet, but on gis alone it appears. If I got the I.D wrong from the photo I am not bothered the most important thing is I had a go and put some input in, can you say that about yourself
