Hi. Which bird is this ? Note red band at tailbase ! Style, location, behavior and size fits Bluethroat, but my book (Collins Bird Guide) doesn't describe juvenile Bluethroat very well and no picture. My guess = Juvenile Bluethroat(Luscinia svecica). http://orre.mine.nu/id/id3/id3.htm Thanks ! //Ben

From page 389 you will see that this is indeed a juvenile Bluethroat. Cheers, Phil

That Jonsson book seems to be from 1999.. a little old I think.. //Ben

Well, I'm from 1953, and I've still got a lot of mileage in me yet. I do like most of Jonsson's work, with reservations (too tedious and minor to go into in detail) about some of it. Overall, yes, it is an excellent book. For taking into the field, get the paperback, as the hardback is way too heavy. Presumably there is an original Swedish version. Cheers, Phil

I have to guess a lot.. Otherwise I really like the Collins-book, but it lacks some juvenil descriptions.. I WILL buy a second book.. don't know which yet.. //Ben
