    A reed bunting. Common enough but first I've seen actually in Perth. South Inch duck pond.

    Yes, the lead male is a chaffinch with a supporting cast of blue tit and willow warbler.

    Stonechat today, Fife, Scotland

    There were a handful of stonechats at Fife Ness early this morning and this one was noticeably paler than the others. Just a nicely marked rubicola? Sorry about the image quality - took it with my phone as I had my camera in my backpack! Doh! :D

    Song thrush maybe.

    Nice birding at Killiecrankie and Craig Fonvuick this morning. Tree pipits, redstarts (lots), wood warblers and a female pied flycatcher the highlights. And the first cuckoos for me of 2024!

    Trossachs

    Didn't find a recent thread so apologies if there already is one. Anyway, walked the Loch Ard circular on Saturday morning. Birding was decent but as the day wore on the number of lycra-clad cyclists and dog walkers made it impossible. Shame as it has a lot of potential.

    Early evening bird call - Central Scotland

    I thought the chaffinch at the end was a different bird? If not then yeah, it's that. At times I thought house sparrow tbh.

    Hello everyone, Is this Gracefull Prina or Delicate Prina please? Location: Kurdistan, Iraq - Date: Last week

    I don't think you can tell on these images alone? On range should be delicate prinia. https://www.saudibirding.com/post/the-prinias-of-northeastern-arabia-graceful-p-gracilis-vs-delicate-p-lepida

    Terrific birding walking the Loch Leven heritage trail this morning. (4 hours, 28 minutes thanks for asking) :D Warbler wonderland with chiffchaffs, willow warblers, blackcaps & sedge warblers every few yards. There were plenty whitethroats in the hedgerows along the west side of the loch and...

    I don't think any of the ospreys visiting the nest site have been LM12. She gave up and went and caught a fish for herself this afternoon.

    Looks like the ospreys at Loch of the Lowes might fail this year. 3 eggs laid but male not seen for several days and female now leaving nest for extended periods of time.

    Curruca crassirostris from Egypt?

    Hypocolius has pale legs.

    Oddly enough the air was full of nuthatch calls at Bluebell Wood near Kinclaven, Blairgowrie on Saturday. They're tricky little sods to catch sight of though. The notion of nuthatches being found in Perthshire woods would have been absurd when I started birding.

    Mallard (I think)? American Black Duck? Hybrid?

    That head pattern is seen on a lot of hybrids too. Is that a neck ring? The online images of mallard x Mexican duck are close.

    Several wheatears on the rocks at Crail this morning and some stonechats too. Also a sand martin flew in from The Forth. Heavy rain at Morton Lochs so not much around but there was this:

    Drake bufflehead still at Findatie sands this lunchtime. Also the drake smew was still on (a very wet and windy) Cameron Reservoir with goldeneyes.

    Grateful for identification help - West Yorkshire, England

    Assuming the colours in the photo are true to life then it is a gingery coloured dunnock. I think this colour aberration might the one called "brown" but I'm not sure. It seems to lack black/grey pigment.

    Great or Lesser Grey Shrike? Greece - Late Spring (May)

    Ha! One of Alexander's pitfall pictures and too focussed on picking one of two. :)

    Great or Lesser Grey Shrike? Greece - Late Spring (May)

    Agree with Andy. Also short tail and lack of white supercilium.
