Birds eyes.

A "Haematopus bachmani" Whoa - can't say that remotely crossed my mind (meaning I've never heard of it)

Honestly I don't know this bird at all and don't believe I've ever seen it. Definitely does have a unique beak though. About the size of a crow?

 

Ok - now the grey/brown bird.........hmmmm what pops to mind is sparrow (but I kinda think that is too simplistic)

 

Here is a picture I took today, there are 12 oystercatchers, yes 12. The new bird is not a sparrow.

 

I think I recognise the head shape, is it a SNIPE?

 

Sorry not a snipe.

 

Hmmmmmm - thinking .........

 

A Thrush?

 

Sorry not a thrush. Its a wren, over here it is Bewick's wren.

 

Todays bird is another taken in the back garden.

 

A wren - very lovely photo Kildale.

Now the bird today ...... Mmmmm thinking

 

Islandlife, have you looked in your inbox lately?

 

Oops - just had a look now

 

I give up. How could I think a wren was a snipe when I have a wren in my garden.

 

The only bird that keeps coming to mind is a chickadee but I'm really not thinking it is that.

 

OK. I'll put you out of your misery, I was sure you would get close with the Downy woodpecker, and I might of given you it, this one however is the hairy. Do you want anymore eyes?
