Sex, Age, Comment |
Third calendar year. ♂. Age and sex according to response from banding central. It was banded as a first year bird 2018-09-17 in Norway, at: Maletangen, Fræna, Møre og Romsdal, Norge. [62.9697222222, 7.0544444444 / 62°58'11.00''N 7°3'16.00''E] TUE, white text on green, on right leg. Metal band on left leg. Notice the different color cast between the first photo and the last three. The only difference is that I overexposed the last three compared to the first one, and with this colors looks colder and the base color of the underside much whiter, giving it a superficial resemblance to a Water Pipit (but lacking the white eyebrow and orange base to the lower mandible). Obs (mar 24): I can't find the original response from Norway, but concerning the subspecies of this bird, I think I've called it a littoralis based on location. And this despite the fact that a dark, cold greenish-gray bird like this, without a marked eyebrow very easily could be a petrosus too. I think. |
