snøft snøft - du/I svømmer i lækre obs. Send venligst lidt ned i det øvrige kongerige , på forhånd tak ;-)

Nå misundelse er en af de 7 synder - så jeg glæder mig nemlig over at jeres aktivitet kaster både gode obs og billeder af sig.

Bedste hilsener Per

ps. Dippede Nordsanger ved Blåvand sidste efterår
pps. Nu er det vel Nordsanger og ikke en af de giftige asiater der ligner ;-)

Jeg må også bare tilslutte mig - det er for fedt!!!!

Ja, vi har haft et fedt efterår. Det værste er snart, at der har været hits stort set over det hele. Der må være røget rigtig meget igennem uset. Når de tre fuglekikkere, der faktisk kikkede fugle i lørdags, alle fandt pechorapiber, hvor mange har der så ikke været derude på øerne?

Nå, men det har været super fedt med alle de fede sibes og der er da også ved at komme en vis mæthed. Der skal mere end en nords eller citronvip for at få pulsen helt op efter hånden. Lidt noget andet end danske forhold. Godt der er en lang mørk vinter til at blive sulten i - hvis der da ikke kommer en ny kumliens-invasion.

Mht om det skulle være en anden giftig asiater, så var tanken oppe at vende. Jeg havde denne fugl sammen med en klassisk nordsanger med længere øjenbryn, der tydeligvis ikke nåede næbbet, mørkere bryst og generelt virkede større. Men østlig kronsanger er udelukket, idet der ikke er nogen issestribe. Østlig lundsanger bør have mørkere ben og øjenbrynet nå helt frem over næbbet og undernæbbet bør ikke have mørk plet. Hvilke andre kandidater der er ved jeg ikke.

Så det er så vidt jeg kan se blot en lidt atypisk nordsanger, desværre. Den 3 dette efterår og 6 fund for Færøerne.

Does any one else think this has a two-barred greenish look about it?

Hi Stewart

The bird is accepted as an arctic warbler by the danish rarity commity. There were two arctic warblers, 2 yellow-browed warblers, barred warbler and some chiffchaffs in the same garden.

In danish I have commented that this bird was seen together with a classic arctic warbler, which seemed larger with darker breast and belly and a very long eye brow which didn't reach the bill.

I have never seen a two-barred greenish warbler, but I would expect it to have darker legs and an eye brow which would reach the forehead.

Silas

racenavn for østlig lundsanger er plumbeitarsus, hvilket betyder blyfod=mørk fod.

Sorry that I can't follow all the comments in Danish but I really feel this is probably not an Arctic. It seems to have completely the wrong jizz and the wingbar patterns seem wrong. Compare the bird with the Arctic earlier in the year. To my eyes, this bird 'screamed out' and said two-barred to me. I really feel this bird is worthy of further investigation

It doe´s in fact look like Silas warbler has a short p1 reaching the tip, or perhaps slightly beyond, the longest primary coverts and emarginations on p3-5 as opposed to plumbeitarsus which has a longer p1 reaching clearly beyond the p-coverts and emarginated p3-6. However, if the precense of a emarginated p6 would exclude borealis, the lack of one might not nessecarily exclude plumbeitarsus (see Svensson).The long primary projection and the pale tips to greater coverts creating a narrower and shorter wingbar compared to a typical plumbeitarsus together with a dark lower mandible mark would suggest borealis.

Check some pic. on the Netfugl gallery.

JanJ

I agree with Jan, much for the same reasons outlined by him. Additionally, the primary spacing (large distance between p5 and p6) support borealis, as well as the dark tip to the lower mandible, the shape of the bill and the pale legs (paler than I've seen in plumbeitarsus).
