      You go by the lanky silhouette and learn that when the tail is spread like this and the cleft is gone, it is still a Red Kite.

      2023-03-19    Kongelundsområdet, Denmark

      Second calendar year. Female. Kongelundsengen.

      Two fresh tertials and greater arm coverts suggest that this is a young bird.

      This bird looks rather pale for the species, or perhaps it is because I normally don't see females this early in the year and the pale feather fringes only have been worn off to a minor degree. At first I thought it might be a Siberian, but the upper tail is conclusive, and over all a Siberian would probably be even paler at this date.

      Adult. Male.
      Assuming the noisy bird is a male dominating the smaller female Graylag Goose. At least they moved about together why I assume it's a pair. And probably the parents to the 3 hybrids here, 5076.

      Sound file, also: Hooded Crow, Eurasian Blue Tit, Mallard.

      3 different birds. Likely offspring of the same pair, that was also present in the park. See 5077.
      If they are siblings, its surprising to see how different they look.

      The call is from Bird 3 (also: jogger, Eurasian Blue Tit, Hooded Crow). Compared to 5077 it has a more Graylag shrilling quality to it.

      2023-03-17    Frederiksberg Have, Denmark

      Adult.
      A single bird has been present for some time. Being a city park, a suspicious origin is the most likely. However, it is a fact that the species has started to migrate through the eastern part of Denmark to a larger extend during recent years. The probable logic behind this is, that the species has started to breed on the arctic Russian island Noveja Zemlja, a thousand kilometers east of the Svalbard population.

      The bird looks healthy and apparently has been seen elsewhere in Copenhagen, why its ability to fly and move is good, and in all respects the bird looks like a classic representative of the species.

      Still present. Last year I saw it the last time for the season on March 16. But it is probably colder this year, which might cause a delayed desire to move on.

      Second calendar year. Ravelinen.

      Banded with white text on blue on right leg: V.NLO. Metal band on left leg.

      The tail coverts herring like, but the tail pattern with narrow black and white bars next to the broad dark tail band is good for Caspian.

      Third calendar year.
      A young adult with few white neck plumes. The darkish bill must be an indication of a bird growing older, though it is not mentioned as an aging criteria, where I've looked.

      I think the sport in Denmark regarding this species is to separate the two subspecies carbo and sinensis. It has been my perception, unqualified?, that most birds were continental sinensis but it appears that the larger part of photos on netfugl.dk have ids to subspecies level and the majority are N Atlantic coastal carbo. How is that possible when the most reliable field mark is the angle of the gular pouch below the eye, and there is an overlap zone where subspecies cannot be determined by this criteria alone. According to studies, birds with an angle of 65 degrees or less are surely carbo and birds showing 73 degrees or more are confirmed sinensis. This gives you an 8 degrees span to base your field-photo decision on. Absolutely unreliable if you ask me. Assuming that many, perhaps depending on which birding generation you belong to, are defaulting their observations to subspecies level without solid support.

      Using an online measure device I get the angle on this bird fall in overlap or sinensis zone, depending on how I make the measuring. And a correct measurement of course should be made on a bird that has the head completely in the neutral planes perpendicular to the observer.








      Happy Birding
