For the ID you need to have certain bird points

SORRY for man bad english

In order to identify the different species of birds, it is necessary to have specific shots of their body.

Examples:

“ “ “ of the swans you need to have a complete head

“ “ “ of the long-tailed tit you need to have the shot showing the head: if it is all white it is a northern long-tailed tit: Aegithalos caudatus caudatus

“ “ “ for the blue tit, the head is enough.

“ “ “ For the marsh tit or alpine tit you need to have a head with a bib and wings.

" " " sparrows need to have a complete head, especially for males.

a - The European sparrow has a gray head
b - the tree sparrow has a spot on the cheek
c - the Italian flounder has a brown head
etc

For other species such as wood pigeon:

“ “ “ for the wood pigeon you need to have the shot showing the white line on the wings and on the adults also a white spot on the neck

For egrets you need to have the snap of the tarsus with the claws which must be yellow.

The raven has a wedge-shaped tail

Waterfowl chicks are not always sufficient for identification, one must have a shot of the adult female.

etc

if you can post the big shots to make it easier to ID.

Hoping I haven't offended anyone, for this simple initiative of mine.

Thank you very much and good sighting

Se potete tradurlo in inglese, ve ne sarei grato.

Per l'ID bisogna avere determinati punti degli uccelli

Per poter identificare le diverse specie di uccelli bisogna avere degli scatti anche specifici del loro corpo.

Esempi:

“ “ “ dei cigno bisogna avere la testa completa

“ “ “ dei codibugnolo bisogna avere lo scatto che mostri la testa: se à tutta bianca é un codibugnolo settentrionale: Aegithalos caudatus caudatus

“ “ “ per la cinciarella, la cinciallegra la testa é sufficiente.

“ “ “ Per la cincia bigia o la cincia alpestre bisogna avere la testa con il bavaglino e le ali.

" " " per i passeri bisogna avere la testa completa, in special modo per i maschi.

a - La passera europea ha il capo grigio
b - la passera mattugia ha una macchia sulla guancia
c - la passera d’Italia ha la testa marrone
et cetera

Per altre specie come il colombaccio:

“ “ “ per il colombaccio bisogna avere lo scatto che mostri la linea bianca sulle ali e sugli adulti anche una macchia bianca sul collo

Per le garzette bisogna avere lo scatto del tarso con gli artigli che devono essere gialli.

Il corvo imperiale ha la coda a forma di cuneo

I pulcini degli uccelli acquatici non sono sempre sufficienti per l’identificazione, bisogna avere lo scatto della femmina adulta.

et cetera

se potete postate gli scatti grandi per rendere più facile l’ID.

Nella speranza di non aver offeso nessuno, per questa mia semplice iniziativa.

Grazie mille e Buone osservazioni

Roby
