+Graham Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Grabbed this off my live feed this afternoon. Cannot say I can put a name to it. The bright flash over its eye seems to ring a bell in the depths of my brain but its too hot . Best viewed on full screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Could be a Corn Bunting, long tail short stubby beak. A fast declining species. +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Are you sure its not a female greenfinch ?? The female is not as 'green' as the male. +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 What do you think @Doc ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Well we now have 4 contenders for this unusual bird. 1 - Corn Bunting 2 - Green Finch 3 - Linnet 4 - Young Chaffinch Any other ideas folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 That could well be a good call Ron 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I would say a juvinile Chaffinch. Corn buntings are stockier then this one is. Edited July 20, 2022 by Doc +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a bit big for a Chaffinch ?? You don't think its a female Greenfinch then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 My first thought was also a Chaffinch but can't really identify it from the video. @Graham, can you pull a frame or two from the video? +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
