The 100 bird species challenge has been going nicely, even though I haven’t been posting recently. Here is a chiffchaff, which I identified by its song, a female siskin (photographed in April), and a male widgeon or Eurasian wigeon (note the subtle difference in spelling which I only just realised). The last picture is of an Eurasian jay which was #19 in my list but I failed to post a picture of it for some reason and only realised it now, so here it is. This picture is also from April. #34 Common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) #35 Song thrush (Turdus philomelos) #36 Eurasian siskin (Spinus spinus) #37 House sparrow (Passer domesticus) #38 Great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus) #39 Red-necked grebe (Podiceps grisegena) #40 Eurasian wigeon (Mareca penelope) #41 Common tern (Sterna hirundo) #42 Common sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) #43 Willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) #44 Eurasian bittern (Botaurus stellaris)
