    River warbler or common grasshopper warbler?

    Of course I do, but: Firstly: On xeno-canto you often have to wait for a long time before someone answers you (a great amount of recordings on xeno-canto have no answers) Secondly: On xeno there's usually one person, who replies to your sound and it's better to get the opinions of more people...

    River warbler or common grasshopper warbler?

    North-eastern Poland, 12th of May, about 6/7 pm, the bird was singing in bushes next to a swamp (with greylag geese, shovelers, gadwalls and wood sandpipers), there's a big lake near with a lot of waterfowl, I didn't see the warbler.

    Two brief questions about tubenoses

    1.What is the difference between the gull's flight and the tubenoses' flight? 2.Can you easily ID a tubenose by its silhouette and flight only or do you necessarily need to see some plumage feautres, if the bird is dark or light?

    Horned grebe's forehead

    People say that a great way to separate a horned grebe from a black-necked grebe in winter is to look at their foreheads. Horned grebes should have a slightly sloping forehead and the crown should be generally flat, while black-necked grebes should have a steep, almost vertical forehead. And...

    Blackcap and garden warbler

    How can I tell apart a blackcap's song from a garden warbler's song if I don't hear the blackcap's fluty notes at the end? For example in this recording. It's a blackcap, but it doesn't end its song with fluty notes just like a garden warbler. If I didn't know that only blackcaps are in my area...

    Unknown from Poland

    North-eastern Poland, March, late evening (about 10 pm), I didn't see the birds they were either too high or too far, I think it is a migrating species of a duck, I heard the birds above a garden near a forest with a lake (there are goldeneyes in this lake, so there must be hollowed trees)

    Unknown from Poland

    I think that most birds have a characteristic song and there is no need to see the bird in order to ID it. Don't tell me you're not able to ID e.g. a blackbird, song thrush, robin, redstart etc. by their songs.

    Well you said mistle thrushes are often easy to find/see, so I thought you meant that I should've seen it.

    Unknown from Poland

    Is it really easy to see a mistle thrush or any other bird sitting on the top of a tree when I'm on the ground and the sky is covered by leaves? I don't think so. In my opinion it is better and more satisfying to ID the bird by its song, not the appearance.

    Is this bird a dunnock?

    North-eastern Poland, 31st of March, 9 am, I didn't see the bird, I recorded it from the Window, it was probably singing in the garden, there are many trees there and there's a forest near. I just want to make sure if it's really a dunnock. The last recording is the worst and it was made on 30th...
