unidentified birds

Алдияр Сапарбаев: Спасибо, Анна. Понятно. Тогда наверно лучше удалить эту серию, если не представляется возможным четко определить.
2019-11-22

Андрей Баздырев: Полевой без сомнения - практически нет пестрин, мощная светлая бровь.
2019-11-15

Анна Ясько: Похожа на пеночку, но без желтоватого в оперении. Наверное, это северная бормотушка.

Анна Ясько: Крупные кулики - турухтаны. Мелкие - вроде кулики-воробьи. И несколько чернозобиков, с более длинными, чем у воробья, клювами.
