    Garden / Yard List 2024

    Isn't there a saying that the game isn't over until the fat lady sings? (I'm sure there's a firework called the fat lady) :unsure: Nothing new in December so far. And the November total was just 20. In here it's a long way for example, Richard's daily average... The Rook has still been...

    Maybe you should leave the sack (of birdseeds, I mean) next to feeder, so that the Reed Warbles know that the seeds are meant for them.

    Yours Marsh shows clearly that brownish rear of cheek. The ID Handbook of European Birds (Nils van Duivendijk) tells one more ID point: Usually Willows black cap rises behind eye when Marshs black caps edge is straight. That book doesn't know yours "eye ring" tip neither. Books have a lot of to...

    Mallorca 2024

    On our last day in Mallorca we went Son Real and Maristany. Before sunset I visited quickly also at s'Albufereta. Last day didn't give new lifers from birds (if you don't count plastic species), but among few other creatures, Hermann's Tortoise and Brown Heath Robberfly were lifers to me. :D...

    Same here. I made today my this winters first Winter Bird Count (for Finish Natural History Museum) - 13 km route. 256 Fieldfares was a new record from this route. They only arrived here on the south coast this week. The Waxwings will probably follow soon.

    Mallard or what? - S'Albufera, Mallorca, Spain

    Photographed 20th October. My first thought was Mallard, but the bill is whole dark and there is something else strange also. Can it be even hybrid?

    Yesterday morning we drove Cap de Formentor. A lots of tourist and especially cyclist. But also few Shearwaters. At the first 2 went South so far that I couldn't say for sure what they were, but looked long-winged. Fortunately later 2 flew by closer and they were about size of a Yl Gull, so I ID...
