Common Hoopoe (Upupa epops)

2026-04-14    Amager Strandpark, Denmark

Bøjlegrunden.
Finally I got it on Amager. Not sure who found it but nice going. It even stayed an exceptional two-days period, whereas they normally disappear within a few hours. Photo delight not so much for me, but others got good photos of it while foraging in the open. It was chased away a few times but other [larger] birds, but apparently it was a good feeding spot why it came back. Is probably in Sweden by now.

Adult Ravelinen.
Banded with black text on white on right leg: OSE. Metal band on left leg.

Being a first record for this individual and not having photo documentations, it might have been me reading the band wrongly, I admit. But apparently I've never seen a banded bird starting with "OS" from Ravelinen, why it can't have been any of the ones with that combination that I've seen before.

2026-03-15    Kalvebod Fælled (Tårnby), Denmark

Common Scoter (Melanitta nigra)

2026-03-15    Kalvebod Fælled (Tårnby), Denmark

Adult Male Øst-vest-kanalen ved Det Grønne Skur.
Clearly injured left wing, why it probably has tried to find a calm spot to rest and recover, and then ended up at the bottom of the canal. Not that it will be disturbed as such, but the heavy human traffic might cause some stress.

Common Pochard x Tufted Duck (hybrid) (Aythya ferina x fuligula)

2026-03-12    Amager Fælled, Denmark

Adult Male Grønjordssøen. Found by Christian Glahder earlier today.
Apparently the parents were a male fuligula and a female ferina. Appeared 4-colored, and indeed very beautiful with the reddish brown cast to the top of the head. A broad black nail on the bill and slight pale markings around the edges proximally.

2026-02-26    Kløvermarken, Denmark

Second calendar year The bill pattern looks more solid here than then I saw it the first time, 9955, perhaps suggesting that it is another individual. But it would be unlikely that this relatively rare goose should show up in a copy version this late in the winter, I think.
