2026-05-03. to photo # 05260022102 (Willow Warbler)

Анна Ясько: У таловки (и у зеленой пеночки тоже) поперечная светлая полоса образована белыми вершинками больших кроющих крыла. Вот здесь на фото видна [....]


2026-05-03. to photo # 05260022102 (Willow Warbler)

Ирина Курьянова: Анна, посмотрите, пожалуйста, крыло на второй фотографии. На ней светлая полоса хорошо видна. Или она должна быть в другой части крыла?

Игорь Фефелов: Так и есть


2026-03-14. to photo # 05260021601 (Common Tern)

Анна Ясько: На камне молодая речная крачка.


2026-03-14. to photo # 05260021701 (Yellow Wagtail)

Анна Ясько: Судя по темным дугам над бровью и отсутствию пестрин снизу, это не конек, а молодая трясогузка. За серыми ушными кроющими нет светлой дуги, [....]


2026-01-26. to photo # 05260021401 (Caspian Gull)

Ирина Курьянова: Анна, спасибо. Я пересмотрю фотографии из этой серии, возможно какой-то вариант будет лучше. Пока перенесу в неопознанные, а позже уточним.


2025-10-09. to photo # 05260020101 (Common Buzzard)

Анна Ясько: У беркута окрас хвоста и крыльев иной. Здесь либо канюки или курганники. Еще можно предположить хохлатых осоедов, но пальцы коротковаты.
