    Garden / Yard List 2024

    Never mind Paul!….at moments like this…just think back to the Varied Thrush.😢

    Greenish warbler or not? Gilan, Iran

    If you go to “Xeno canto” Greenish Warbler you’ll be able to compare the recordings with your own files.👍

    Garden / Yard List 2024

    Probably my worst ever start to the year, slow would be an understatement, with the ongoing blanket grey, winds mostly out the North to the accompaniment of record precipitation for the month. Perhaps not surprising that “regulars” just haven’t put in an appearance…yet? However no complaints...

    Poland - May 2024

    You certainly had a great trip Pete, I still need Grey-headed Woody😩 Am due a few more trips into the near continent possibly Brussels (don’t know about this year though…praps next?) Totally condone the “war dance”🤩 round the tree in the said wood, I’m not beyond a celebratory clenched fist...

    Uzbekistan Flycatcher

    Looks like your spot on.👍FWIW Taiga might be an option?

    Wondering what the “red leaves” mean on this oak sapling?

    I’ll be reddy for the next one then.🤣👍

    May or Ruddy Highflier?

    Think I’d call this a “May almost into June Highflyer”.🤣👍

    Blyth's reed warbler (pictures, song)?

    Ideally a profile shot would be preferred Michal, however image 2. strongly suggest short wings for an unstreaked Acro, also the head pattern looks better for BRW showing just a short fore-supercillium. Further, listening to the tape, I couldn’t detect Reed Warbler’s song at all, nor the rich...

    Yes, I reached for the cam and the bugger flew off .🤣👍

    Warbler i d Cyprus

    I don’t suppose you have a profile shot? Cheers

    Poland - May 2024

    Seeing the White Stork probing the ground, immediately took me back to Hungary, when I’d just stepped off the train and was met by “the same”…probing the ground by the track. I was taken aback by it’s relative indifference to moi, as I reached for my cam.👍

    Three Phylloscopus warblers from Laos?

    Here’s one taken by “coveman” Thailand Sep’23 regarding UTC’s which can be variably toned dependant on reflected light.

    Three Phylloscopus warblers from Laos?

    Agree with Radde’s in Bird 3. Possibly Eastern Crowned in Bird 2? and pass on Bird 1. Cheers

    State of Hirundine passage this Spring?

    Well that’s encouraging Paul!, seems like it’s patchy at best. My mind wanders back to the ‘70’s when Common Whitethroats virtually disappeared almost nationally, problems on their Wintering grounds I believe, if memory serves. Now they’re back to pre’70’s levels…so there’s always hope.😮

    Poland - May 2024

    Had I been there, I’d have been extremely pleased with that haul Peter, absolutely 1st class!

    State of Hirundine passage this Spring?

    On the Red-rumped Swallow front, during my week on Cyprus, April 12-19th I didn’t encounter any!

    Vireo Confusion in New Jersey, USA - 5/27/24

    Having listened I’m a little confused, it sounds more like Philadelphia to my ear now.😮 Sorry, I now think a seasoned stateside birder would be a better judge.👍

    Vireo Confusion in New Jersey, USA - 5/27/24

    Pale lores and perhaps a weaker eyebrow, also looks more attenuated to my eye, thus I’ll go with Warbling….without listening to the soundtrack.😮

    State of Hirundine passage this Spring?

    I’m hoping there is a great “groundswell” of birds further South, waiting for temps to rise?…cos if there ain’t…. then it really does look grim.😮 That said, was in Cyprus Apr 12th-19th where I didn’t notice any significant decrease in Marts/Swallows…indeed even had juvs.flying around. Cheers

    State of Hirundine passage this Spring?

    Looking at my Spring return for hirundines this year, they appear to have fallen off a cliff! By the 24th May last year, I’d accrued 12 Northbound House Martins/27 Swallows. This year same time frame, 1 Northbound House Martin/11 Swallow!! Anyone else got better news?
