Hahaha, it’s a long time since anyone called me a birdspotter Wari, I think it was when I was at school

Have to admit that I used Google Translate for that "Birdspotter" word. 😬 Sorry, if it's a disparaging (<- this word also from GT ) or something similar.

It’s not at all disparaging Wari, perhaps just a bit old-fashioned nowadays, congratulations on the Black-throated Thrush!

Most of time I'm birding only during weekends, and trying to reach 200 bird species for Serbia.

Last lifer was: Alauda arvensis

Ayeyarwady Bulbul.... Nothing like a Bulbul split to get the pulse racing. If I had made it bird of the day over Spot-bellied Eagle Owl, I would want to have been sectioned!

All the best

That Woodpecker is beautiful!

 

[Paul Chapman]

My last tick was Blossom-headed Parakeet at Doi Inthanon NP in Thailand albeit Green Peafowl, Black Baza, updating Oriental Scops Owl from heard only to seen & White-rumped Falcon (male & female) all beat it in bird of the day... 😀

All the best

Eurasian Teal. Green-winged Teal is the American species. They were considered sub-species but now split.

Thank you so much @aeshna5 for your kind correction. In the Merlin app, both Eurasian and American types are listed as Green-winged Teal. Probably because the app was not updated after splitting the sub-species.

I went out looking for the very elusive Red-fronted Parrotlet (Touit costaricensis) yesterday. Dipped on it but was surprised by an Elegant Euphonia. Not that uncommon of a bird but one that has persistently eluded me despite spending significant time looking for it in areas it was much more common than where I was yesterday.

Lifer 688 in Costa Rica and 1,041 globally.

My first new lifers since 2019 on our end Feb/start of March trip to Georgia:

Güldenstädt's Redstart
Caucasian Grouse
White-backed Woodpecker
Kruper's Nuthatch

If you live in Georgia, you might have encountered one of the 08 Woodpeckers of Georgia Check them out

Dear oh dear, you surely know that the four species I saw for the first time are Western Palearctic residents, the site you linked to is for woodpeckers of the State of Georgia in USA!
I would add that the title page sems to show a picture of a Georgian village in the Caucasus, which is a bit of a sloppy mistake to make (no offence to whoever set it up of course, but correction needed I would have thought ).

 

[Paul Chapman]

My latest lifer was Oriental Bay Owl at Doi Inthanon NP. Sadly, it was camera shy for me and my only pic is side on.

A day with astonishing quality and 43 lifers including Silver-eared Laughingthrush. Green-tailed Sunbird (of the Doi Inthanon race), Rufous-bellied Niltava & Orange-bellied Leafbird.

All the best

Paul

Day 5 of our Thai trip and my latest lifer was Collared Falconet. Over 20 lifers in the day contained some rare species and some stunning species with White-headed Bulbul, White-necked Laughingthrush, Silver-eared Mesia, White-capped Redstart & Small Niltava.

All the best

Paul
