    Swallows - Central America Feb 2024

    Probably the final question from my recent trip. Image 3833 was at Harvest Caye and 4071 in Panama. I'm uncertain whether these are Mangrove or Blue and White Swallows - or maybe something else? All guidance and help appreciated. Andy

    Lizard, Miami Beach

    I saw this on South Beach. It appears to fit the description of an Agama (if so, which species), but I understood those were only found in Africa? All help would be much appreciated. Andy

    Grackles - Port Antonio, Jamaica

    I think the first image, 7542, is a Carib Grackle but the second bird looks different - perhaps a Great-tailed grackle. Correction/confirmation would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Andy

    Terns and gulls near Cartagena, Colombia

    Seen on my recent travels. 1. I suspect 4238 are Common Terns but the "crest" is causing me some doubt. 2. I wonder whether 4243 and 4249 are Forster's Terns? 3. I suspect 4252 are Black-headed Gulls 4. Same as 3 above? I'm grateful for confirmation, clarification or corrections. TIA Andy

    Costa Maya area, Mexico

    I think that both the Egrets are Snowy but not 100% sure so would appreciate confirmation (or correction). The swallow is more difficult as this was the only angle I could shoot from. It seems to be quite grey so I'm wondering if it's either a Grey-breasted Martin or a Bank Swallow - or maybe...

    Samburu, Kenya, October 2023

    This is the last stop on our trip to Kenya, and the final batch of questions. My best attempts are: 2362: Some species of Lark, if so what? 2735: Variable Sunbird; 2747: Grey Hornbill - although the guides I've looked at show them to be more brown than grey. 2998: Some species of Weaver, if so...

    Loisaba, Kenya October 2023 - 3

    With apologies, I'm back again! For all the questions that I've asked, there are still something over 100 species that I have managed to identify so far with several days of the trip still to go. 2043 looks like some species of Dove, but my field guide doesn't show anything like this - unless...

    Loisaba, Kenya October 2023 - 2

    Another batch. I'm pretty sure that 1883 is a Common Bulbul, but I'm struggling with the rest. Is 2035 a Brimstone Canary? All help much appreciated. Andy

    Mara North - October 2023 - Day 2

    The next batch of questions on which I'd appreciate some help please. My thoughts as follows: 0961 - red-rumped swallow; 1075 - Starling, but not sure which specific species; 1095; 1104; 1113 - Ruppel's and/or White backed vulture - I got in a bit of a muddle! 1206 - Female violet-backed...

    Kenya - Bulbuls - Northern Mara - October

    Both of these have a yellow vent - just about visible, but are they both Common Bulbuls? The bills look slightly different, and the in shot in portrait style (0116) , the head looks different too. Or is it just the angle and I'm overthinking it? Help appreciated as always. Andy

    Nearby Williamsburg, Virginia, Aug 2023

    A few more ID questions. The second shot may be a juvenile Eurasian Starling? but I am pretty certain that the final image is a Black Vulture. As for the rest...your help will be appreciated. many thanks Andy

    It was inevitable that I'd find one more! I think these are Red Necked Phalarope, but would appreciate confirmation (or otherwise). Andy

    Iceland - May 2023

    Here are the first few from my recent trip around Iceland. Image quality not great in a few of them as the weather wasn't great some of the time and / or they are heavily cropped. 1. Perhaps female Eiders, but odd that there are no males present. 3. I've not been able to find a gull with the...

    Wagtail?? Blackbushe, Surrey June 2022

    I've just been going back over some photos taken last year and came across these. It was close to a Pied Wagtail and I realised that I didn't know what this is. All help appreciated. Thanks Andy
