Mit bedste bud er en Kærsanger. Ser ud til at have relativt kraftigt næb og den synlige bagklo på højre ben virker bleg - falder næsten i med den lyse gren.

Well, with greenish-yellowish eye-ring
and throat this bird may appear NOT to
be an Acrocephalus palustris

- unless the photo has some colour artifact

- or some palustris may have more
yellow/green plumage than the majority's
brownish/whitish.

Comments are welcomed.

Well, photos of the same bird can be seen here www.faroenature.net/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15073#p29777

I´ll say Reed Warbler, the bird seems to have a rather short primaries projection and even if the legs are quite well hidden i belive that they are blue/grayish and not yellowish.

The bill seems rather short due to the angle of the head.

Thanks a lot, RODMUND, for pictures and
comments !

YES, the pictures You refer to are typical
A. scirpaceus or palustris

- and (almost) unbelievable DIFFERENT from
the one uploaded 15th Aug. in Netfugl.

Should the awkward (misleading?) NETFUGL

photo ??

or commented 'colour artifact'??

Very best rgds.

Well, the warbler on the picture above is photographed in about 5 m distance sitting in a dense green busk. This does of course have a influence on the colour because the green leaf is reflected somehow on the bird. But I do not see any major differences between the over all colour on the different pictures, when the colours are seen in the light of the over all colouration.

Anyways, the photographer of the other pictures obtained a lot of pictures taken from the kitchen window yesterday, which hopefully will come online later. I am confident that those pictures will contain clues, which could nail this bird...

Very best regards.

The bird has been discussed on another homepage. The discussion and additional pics can be seen here

Additional pics can be seen here

SILAS: Many thanks!
Excellent pictures, forwarded 16-17th Aug.

I følge diskussionen på Fugle og Natur er den godkendt som kærsanger. Hvis det passer, skulle navnet vel rettes her?

Tak for opfølgning, JAN ....... C.

Det havde dog ingen effekt...

Hermed er artsnavnet Kærsanger tilføjet, da den ganske rigtigt er godkendt af SU for 14-15/8 2010.

Beklager, at der skulle gå så lang tid, men det kan ske, at administratorerne ikke fanger alle disse kommentarer på netfugl, hvorfor henvendelse pr mail er mere sikkert i anliggender som denne.
