bird. what is it.

[paulus 26]

this is for you mate to help you see it a little better on your phone... and for it to be frame filler "of a rare bird"

 

hope this helps. Russ

is that some sort of bee eater

[runforyourlife 361]

Hi paul its the " grey shrike"... it does eat insect and also preys on small birds and reptiles.. you wont get more than a cpl in the same area. As they are very teritorial and will fight there corner. usually of about a km to 2 kilometres..

 

Other birds do mob them to move them on, especially other birds of prey...

That's nice. Don't quite understand the "edge you have though"

This is a forum. People will guess at things, as I did, and somebody else thought waxbill as well, so there must be some similarity in someway.

 

If you don't want people to guess, and you feel the need to insult people when they get it wrong....then just tell us what it is next time.

 

I don't know you from Adam and the main decent images I have seen on here before, are those from Romany. I will see if I can find some of yours and I am sure I will appreciate those as well.

Doesnt matter mate... That is a waxbill. we were talking about the bird on the other thread, the one you mentioned on here about looking like a sparrow..

 

forget it pal, cant be arsed... I did want people to guess and they have and nothing has been said untoward..

 

good luck what ever you do, "bird spotting" "hunter" etc etc.

[tegater 789]

Same as bud, good luck and get some more images up of birds, I genuinely enjoy them.

 

I just get fed up sometimes with some of the comments on this site, that are unnecesary, and could put the younger or newer members off, joining in or posting for fear of being ridiculed.

 

Just my opinion anyway.

Hi Byron. Yes i believe they do vist are land on few occasions. Not very many spotted these days however.

 

Yes, the little egret is getting wider spread and making a good come back. However the bird in the picture is a white heron.(also known as the great egret).It was good to see them feeding with our native heron and also the little egret.
