    Pine Marten at Spurn

    Sorry to come to this thread late, I was just googling some stuff and noticed it. In replying to the original question about the Spurn Pine Marten's origins, I should first declare an interest in the record, since I was the first observer to find it (although I later found out the owner of...

    what bird is that? The Brook in Nundah on 26th April 2023.

    Aging Red-rumped Swallow

    Not an identification question but I would be grateful to hear opinions on the age of this Red-rumped Swallow I found at Spurn on 1st November. I've read that both adults and juveniles have a complete moult sometime in the autumn/winter so I'm struggling to age it. Perhaps someone with...

    Mystery Wildfowl species Hornsea Mere, Yorks 1990s

    Some kind of whistling duck. From the flank stripes, I'm guessing Fulvous Whistling-duck.
  17. Sherpa

    ID please

    Correct with Crested Hawk-eagle. Pale plumage is typical of immature.

    All Louisiana imo. First image shows contrast between colour of supercilium and underparts, as you would expect.

    Vietnam - Bonus Part - Flycatcher

    Many of the maps in the new Lynx Vietnam field guide are misleading. But mostly the other way round i.e. showing larger ranges than actually exist

    juv. shrike - Poland

    Try Googling juv Red-backed Shrike. It won't take you long to find birds with buff undertail coverts. e.g. here https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/82261130667058489/

    Bimaculated Lark

    Agreed. Looks like Calandra. You've not said where it was taken, but since you are based in Greece, let's guess that is where you took it, in which case Calandra is the default.

    Passerines, Panama

    Just be satisfied with identifying the nice adult males.

    Passerines, Panama

    You would have a fair idea in the breeding season when Mangrove Warblers are on territory and Yellow Warblers are up north. You can also consider how many sightings of adult male Mangrove Warblers there are away from their preferred habitat at any time of year. Of course, wandering immature...
