Анна Ясько: Думаю, да.


2023-07-30. to photo # 06510012902 (Yellow Wagtail)

Александр Поляков: Поменять на желтую все же ?


2023-07-30. to photo # 06510012902 (Yellow Wagtail)

Александр Поляков: Да, это все та же особь.


2023-07-30. to photo # 06510012902 (Yellow Wagtail)

Анна Ясько: А вот на втором фото та же особь или другая?


2023-07-30. to photo # 06510012901 (Yellow Wagtail)

Анна Ясько: Здесь светлая бровь прямая, не загибается за ушными кроющими. Полагаю, это желтая трясогузка.


2023-07-29. to photo # 06510012901 (Yellow Wagtail)

Александр Поляков: Правильно же определил?


2020-06-24. to photo # 06510012001 (Peregrine Falcon)

Александр Поляков: Спасибо, перенес.


2020-06-24. to photo # 06510012001 (Peregrine Falcon)

Андрей Баздырев: Сапсан (не рыжих штанов, мощное сложение и др.).


2020-06-23. to photo # 06510012001 (Peregrine Falcon)

Александр Поляков: Подскажите: чеглок или сапсан?


2020-06-08. to photo # 06510011901 (Common Rosefinch)

Николай Балацкий: Александр, опыт дело наживное. Но и опытные нередко сомневаются или ошибаются. Желаю творческих успехов!


2020-06-07. to photo # 06510011901 (Common Rosefinch)

Александр Поляков: Николай, как-то странно смотрится, да и опыта в этом деле немного ))


2020-06-07. to photo # 06510011901 (Common Rosefinch)

Николай Балацкий: Александр, а в чём сомнения? Обыкновенная чечевица.


2020-06-07. to photo # 06510011901 (Common Rosefinch)

Александр Поляков: Подскажите, верно ли определил?


2020-05-31. to photo # 06510011801 (Northern Wheatear)

Анна Ясько: Если не ошибаюсь, здесь обыкновенная каменка. Уж слишком серая она сверху для самки плешанки.


2020-05-03. to photo # 06510011601 (Meadow Bunting)

Андрей Баздырев: Красноухая - хорошо видно каштановое ушное пятно.


2020-05-02. to photo # 06510011601 (Meadow Bunting)

Анна Ясько: Голова скрыта ветками, но, насколько я вижу, по бокам и верху головы не черные полосы, а характерный для красноухой овсянки окрас - каштановые [....]


2019-10-10. to photo # 06510008503 (Black Kite)

Александр Поляков: Как можно убрать 3 фото?


2019-10-08. to photo # 06510009802 (Upland Buzzard)

Александр Поляков: Спасибо, перенес.


2019-10-08. to photo # 06510009802 (Upland Buzzard)

Андрей Баздырев: Очевидно - мохноногий (собственно цевки с перьями).


2019-10-07. to photo # 06510010001 (Eastern Imperial Eagle)

Алдияр Сапарбаев: Хороший снимок.


2019-10-07. to photo # 06510009501 (Common Buzzard)

Алдияр Сапарбаев: Да, это канюк (Buteo buteo).


2019-10-07. to photo # 06510008201 (Northern Wheatear)

Анна Ясько: Обыкновенная. Видно светлую бровь за глазом, "щечка" выделяется, плечико виднеется и оно темное.


2019-10-07. to photo # 06510009802 (Upland Buzzard)

Олег Белялов: Видно, что ещё и мохноногий


2019-10-07. to photo # 06510010002 (Eastern Imperial Eagle)

Олег Белялов: Могильник


2019-10-07. to photo # 06510010001 (Eastern Imperial Eagle)
