Re: [EBN] Help to identify wader - Little Curlew?

Mon, 21 May 2012 17:14:50 -0500

Hi Dzmitry and others,
It is hard to believe that a curlew with such white underwings qualifies for
Little Curlew, just compare with the underwing of the Little Curlew (shown
with Lapwing) in one of the commentaries and compare with the skins of
Little Curlew shown here (scroll down):

Hi all,

In early May, I will go to Kos for a family holiday, but will have some time to do some birding around the island.
Therefore I'm looking for some good sites for migrants, breeding birds and seabirds watching points.

Any interesting info is welcome.

Thanks.
Kind regards, Kees

Dzmitry send me some excellent pictures taken by Dzmitry Yakubovich in summer in Belarus. From them it is clear that the 2012 bird belongs to the local (abietinus) population. As to the 2009 bird it does not look like a typical buffish tristis to me. To me this bird

Re: [EBN] Wintering Phylloscopus sp. + photos

Dear Dzmitry,
Your bird is rather pale for a classical tristis. Do you or anyone else have
pictures of Belaruss Chiffchaffs taken in August cq the beginning of
September?
All the best, Norman

Thank you very much for your help with identification of Water pipit.

was registered on the bushy bank of big river Nioman near Hrodna city

Hi Dzmitry & all,

Congratulations, nice find and maybe indeed the same bird returning for the
third consecutive year.
Interestingly, the first Water Pipit for Moscow stayed on the banks of the
Moskva river within the city limits last month, from January 10 to 14.
Apparently this is also the first record

Yes it is, compare also with:

Unless last year's bird was ringed this is probably the same bird returning. At my local patch we get this happening with Water Pipits. We had a distinctive bird with a deformed foot and ring and it returned for four successive winters.
