    Plover at Al Khor Qatar Oct 2023

    Looks suspiciously like dealbatus. Probably not, considering the location, but I read somewhere (TM), that there are more dealbatus-like birds wintering in the middle-east.

    Wheatear species Cyprus May 2024

    I guess he means Oenanthe melanoleuca, Andy (I am not sure how the british view on this species is, they are a bit old-fashioned on taxonomy). And I agree.

    Indian Ocean - 560 km NW of Australia/ Falcon

    It is a difficult bird. But light phase Eleonora is especially rufous on the belly, which rules out pergrine in my opinion.

    Indian Ocean - 560 km NW of Australia/ Falcon

    Looks suspiciously like a Eleonora's falcon. Very unlikely on that location, but you never know and they are long distance migrants.

    Ukraine in October

    Ukraine is quite far off the main birding routes. I visited the country twice, and planned on visiting a 3rd time. As I was not there in October, and only visited the Crimea in September, so I can't help you. But i got quite some help from the facebookgroup Birding Ukraine.

    Most difficult W Pal species to see anywhere?

    Still few people visit those areas. Also Sicilian partridge might be difficult if you want to see a pure bird, I heard hybrids are difficult to recognize in the field.

    Most difficult W Pal species to see anywhere?

    Hmm, I see you all talk about the old WP, for the new WP (including the entrire Arabian Peninsula and Iran). If you include that area I think Yemen warbler, Yemen thrush and the split Magpie are currently very difficult.

    Pitta's in Shah Alam

    According to ebird the birds are only there in the winter. Fascinating, considering that the climate in Kuala Lumpur is not that different from south thailand. Unfortunately on ebird it is impossible to find the exact location other than that the birds are somewhere in the park....
