Hi,
I have finished uploading photos to my new SmugMug photo gallery: "The Birds
of Bowra".
See: http://ptiloris.smugmug.com/
From the entry page click on the "Nature" icon then click on the "The Birds
of Bowra" icon.
Then have fun flicking through the 258 photos of over 100 species.
I have made my identifications in most cases based on my own experience and
information resources. In many cases I have attempted to describe the sex
and age of the particular bird but I am often not 100% sure. In those cases
I have added a (?). Any incorrect identifications are my fault alone and if
any one thinks I am wrong in any case or would like to have a go where I
haven't been game I would like to hear those opinions and reasons.
Of particular identification concern is the alleged Brown Goshawk (page 15
photo 73). I have added notes to the caption explaining my reasons for make
that identification but I would be happy to receive comments with back-up
evidence from anyone who believes it is not a Brown Goshawk. I have already
received credible comments from one person who believes it is a Collared
Sparrowhawk but I have had to say I am not yet dissuaded from my opinion. I
am still considering this identification, though. I must say at this point
that I am not being deliberately stubborn or pig-headed with this one. It is
simply that I am being cautious as I have a personal belief that there is a
lot of mis-identifying of these two species. Of course, that may simply be
because I am not confident in my own ability. Or that I want it to be a
Brown Goshawk to build up my Bowra Bird list; I believe I have recorded 17
of the 18 Hawks, Eagles & Falcons listed so far for Bowra.........if I
include Brown Goshawk.
Some of you might also like to have a go at identifying the two species of
Corvids in the gallery on page 15.
That could be interesting.
Cheers
Bob Inglis
