Aina sama haaste - Always the same challenge



Ensimmäisessä kuvassa pensaskerttu, jonka kuvasin 17.7.



Muut kuvat ovat yhdestä ja samasta yksilöstä, jota kuvasin 18.7.



Näin punertavaa päälakea ja ajattelin sen olevan mustapääkerttu. Tarkkailtuani tyyppiä aloin miettiä, että josko se olisikin lehtokerttu. Lehtokertulla on vaaleaa silmäkulma juovaa.



Sitten ajattelin, että se on nuori pensaskerttu. Niillä on punertava päälaki. Pensaskertuilla on myös vaalea silmäkulmajuova. Olisiko nuori pensaskerttu…



First photo I shot 17.7. It is a Common Whitethroat. 

The other photos are from one and the same individual I photographed on July 18th. I saw a reddish colored cap on the head, and I thought it was a Eurasian blackcap. After observing the guy, I started to wonder if it was a Garden warbler. Then I thought it was a young Whitethroat. They have a reddish cap. Young Common whitethroat…?

  2. Hello Anu,

    What a cute bird. The young ones now confuse me, they all look different than the adults, males and females. Great sighting of the Whitethroat. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day,wishing you a happy weekend! PS, thank you for the visit and comment.

  5. Hello Anu. Yes, you have two different species. The first is a female Whitethroat. The second is a female or juvenile Blackcap.
