    Long-tailed Skua ? France

    I recently (21/8/23) saw this Skua on Lac de Pannecière, France (Morvan) and identified it as long-tailed, struck by its color and a few features such as primary tips and the amount of white on primaries. Nevertheless, the overall jizz of the blying bird and bill shape and coloration brought in...

Despite a few pics with views of the feet (including #5 above) I was unable to see the faintest hind toe on that bird, which should rule out...

    Plovers - Oman Masirah

    Plovers - Oman Masirah

    Hello, I would appreciate opinions about these plovers seen recently (oct 31/nov 1) on Masirah Island, Oman. photos #2 and #3 are of two different birds seen together, #4 and #5 are of the same bird. I believe 1-3 are Pacific and 4-5 Golden but I have some doubts left...

    Tern - Masirah Oman

    I guess it would but I never managed to get any positive ID of this species, in this season when common and (perhaps) roseate should also be present.

    Tern - Masirah Oman

    Is it possible to ID this lone elongated tern with a rather strong black bill and reddish legs ? Common tern or something spicier ? Masirah Island, Oman, october 31 2022

    Peru, Cock of the Rock area of Manu Road.

    Probably Olive-backed Foliage-gleaner but let's wait for other opinions...

    Not familiar with Peru's birds but this is a Brush-Finch. Probably Grey-browed (ssp. assimilis ?)
