Some tentative bird ids

May 02, 2012 11:39

Which means, some more poor-quality photos of Eritrean birds. Sorry.

Red-billed firefinch? In Asmara


Rüppell's Griffon? Between Dekemhare and Adi Keyh


Photo really isn't good enough to make a positive id but I was shooting from a moving bus on a bumpy road with the small camera, so I'm pleased to have got this!

Speckled Mousebird? In Asmara











Eurasian spoonbill (I'm certain of that. Definitely not African spoonbill.) Subspecies Platalea leucorodia archeri? Green Island near Massawa


Great crested tern? Green Island, Massawa


Slender-billed starling? In Asmara


Rüppell's weaver? (I've looked at hundreds of weaver pics and considered Little weaver and Vitelline masked weaver as well but I think probably a Rüppell's.) Behind the hotel, outskirts of Keren.
