    Анна Ясько: Елена, Вы верно предполагаете, это ястребиная славка.

    2023-07-30. to photo # 06820027201 (Barred Warbler)

    Elena Bobachenko: Можно ли по этим фотографиям птицу определить. Это же вроде славка? Я склоняюсь, что ястребиная.

    Анна Ясько: Думаю, может. Черный цвет на рулевых доходит почти до основания. Выделяющееся на общем фоне белесое плечико - тоже характерный признак молодой [....]

    Elena Bobachenko: Помогите, пожалуйста, вид каменки точно определить. Может быть пустынной?

    Анна Ясько: Средние рулевые здесь не видны. Снизу на сложенном хвосте видны как раз крайние рулевые. Из других признаков: клюв очень толстый для бормотушки, [....]

    2023-06-19. to photo # 06820017901 (Great Reed Warbler)

    Сергей Силантьев: Судя по коротким средним рулевым и внешнему виду вроде бы северная бормотушка, но хорошо бы для уточнения еще снимки....Если есть выложите.

    Анна Ясько: Дроздовидная камышевка.

    Анна Ясько: Совсем еще птенцы, поэтому такие темные. Хохотуньи, должно быть, судя по взрослой особи.
