- I would welcome confirmation of ID for the following pipits seen in a mixed pipit/wagtail flock of over 50 birds on Saturday afternoon: Bird 1 - Water Pipit Bird 2 = Water Pipit Bird 3 - Red-throated Pipit Many Thanks, Steve
The shrike is a juvenile 'Isabelline', probably Turkestan. It would help to know what time of the year the image was taken to support this - Sep/Oct would favour Turkestan, Dec-Feb Daurian.
I'm going to pass on the gull, however.
Hi Mark,
The shrike was in December, so it seems like a Daurian/Isabelline juvenile. Thanks a lot.
Anybody on the Gull please ...
The gull can not be identified beyond Larus sp.
We call them 'Large white-headed gulls' here in the UAE See the online downloadable Checklist for the possible species involved
I'm pretty sure the shrike is 1st-winter Turkestan.
