    Merganser

    Hello Today I saw this bird in Northern Poland, but in fresh water area.. I would expect it's a Red Breasted Merganser, but first of all they usually only stay along the beach and usually never in fresh water around here at least and they usually leave in end March/start April.. Can anyone...

    Harrier, but Hen or Pallid?

    OK, thanks for info.. I have reported the bird with pictures and wait for the verifying person to come with his/her opinion.. There was another one together with it, but I assume this is a clear Hen Harrier, rigth?.. 5 finger and no ring around neck..

    Harrier, but Hen or Pallid?

    Thanks for your feedback.. Can someone else double confirm that it really is a Pallid Harrier.. That will be my only second sighting here in the local area..

    I have a very unclear shot here from below, where the dark area of the underwing is better visible..

    Harrier, but Hen or Pallid?

    Hello Today I saw this Harrier in Poland... I see it very similar to the ones called in as Pallid Harrier with a clear ring around the head, but it's hard to count the fingers.. Anybody who can verify? Thanks

    Wagtail Poland

    Thanks Joe.. I am aware of that, but doesn't seem to fit any of the specific types.. Was more wondering the posibility for the Pied Wagtail, which is very rare around here and usually only in the spring, when they migrate.. It has the blackish root of the tail from what I can see.. But I'm...

    Wagtail Poland

    Hello In a group of White Wagtails today I saw this "deviating" one, compared to the rest, which looks like normal ones (The one of the right as an example).. Is there any explanation for this blackish appearance in the normally white area? Thanks

    Sound recorder

    Thanks.. I saw this page earlier, but it seem a bit confusing at first.. I'll try to read it carefully and see if I can figure it out.. :)

    Sound recorder

    Thanks for your input.. As I said the H1n I can get here in Poland for less than 100€ and I don't really like to buy used.. I once tried to buy DSLR camera used, and usually people sell for a reason, and I have not too good experience with it.. Anyway, a used H4n cost around double of a new H1n...

    Sound recorder

    Thanks again to everyone for the different inputs.. I have been reading some more reviews and recommendation from others round about.. I see that many people recommend the "ZOOM H1n" as a good one for starters, since the quality is good compared to the very affordable price.. I was planning to...

    Sound recorder

    Thanks once again to all for their inputs.. Based on my research I think I'll start with something "cheaper" and make some experiments before "upgrading" to heavier gear.. After all, as for now, I just use my Iphone for recording and it works somewhat fine, especially when I'm standard...

    Sound recorder

    Thanks for your last input as well.. I understand your points, but I feel like it's getting more and more complex to find the right equipment for what I actually want/need.. I think I need to make some more research in what I want to aim for and then focus on that.. So once again thanks for...

    Sound recorder

    Thanks you very much for your explanations.. I see I have to learn some technical terms as well, since I have no idea about sound recording and the words that follows with that.. :) Looks like the Zoom F2 would be a fine option for recording from what I can read in the data.. Cost is around...

    Sound recorder

    Thanks for your input Mono.. For now I use my Iphone, which works somehow fine, when I just ensure to stop up as soon as I hear something, so I assume anything will be better than that?.. :) I'll try to take a look on it and read some more.. Now I know better in which direction to search.. So...

    Sound recorder

    Hello I have been birding for some years now, only on a hobby level, but I would like to start record sounds while I'm in the field, not for saving records of different species, but more because I often experience to hear a bird sound, but not being sure exactly which bird it is.. So I would...

    Wagtail - North-west Poland

    Hi Alexander Thanks for your link, but I'm far from fluent in the German language.. It's many years since I had that in school.. :) But I'll take a look on it later and see if I can catch something Thanks again

    Wagtail - North-west Poland

    Hello I was going through some old pictures and stumbled upon this bird from June 2021.. In the field I assumed it was a Yellow Wagtail and when I checked pictures online, it looked quite the same.. Now I just checked for fun how juvenile Citrine Wagtail looks like and it's look even more right...

    YLG - North East Poland

    Great, thanks for confirmation.. Finally I managed to find one around here.. :) Can you point of more detailed, what makes the underwing important, since I don't see this as a point of decision making in my bird guide..

    Merlin misled?

    For what it's worth.. I have actually good experience with it here in Poland.. I have used it quite often for the past half year or so, just to have it running in the background while birding in a stationary place.. So far I haven't experience any exotic birds and most of the times it get the...
