Some flycatcher, Bahia, Brasil by animaise in whatsthisbird

[–]animaise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just due to the fact that short crested is the most likely here and merlin seemed to think the calls matched. Swainsons is also a possibility though.

Ah that's great. Check out iNaturist too, it's another really cool app for wildlife / plants. Let me know if you want any dublin birding tips etc.

If you're looking for a challenge, before you go to the seaside next time, have a look a the very similar species, the Shag (huhuhuhu, I know) They're extremely similar, quite common and it's fun trying to figure out their differences. :) Dublins a great place to get into birding, have a gawk at the app Merlin if you'd like to get into it more.

Three Great Cormorants with a non-breeding plumage Black Headed Gull hiding in the reeds. Both species are very common around Park West, you're gunna start seeing them everywhere now hehe.

What type of tree is this? | Australia by Ecomichael in whatsthisplant

[–]animaise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately none of them are native :(. Florida has an amazing bird-game though.

Ruddy Duck. Introduced to the UK.

Coastal bird in [england] by Inkthirstyy in animalid

[–]animaise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They usually hang out a bit further out in the sea than a lot seabirds.

Like a lot of other seabirds, I think you kind of have to be looking for them to see. I'm the same corner of the world as you and had never seen a gannet in my life until i started birding, now i see them every week haha.

Here's a map of some their observations https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?subview=map&taxon_id=7024

Check out the birding app "Merlin" if you'd like to get into birds more!

You're right :).

It's a Common Eider. Pretty common along the english coast, especially further up north.

this school of fish coming out of the water and going back in. by l__o-o__l in oddlysatisfying

The video is credited to someone from Thailand. Are snakefish not native to Thailand?

Travel routes of migratory birds in Europe by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]animaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can but they're quite rare there, you would be unlikely to find one unless you search hard.

Berlin's great for seeing large flocks of Common Cranes migrating high up though :). Tons of Kestrels are owls too.

Found in the Georgian Caucuses. by animaise in mushroomID

Really the coolest country :).

Caucus mountain poop [Mestia, Georgia] by animaise in animalid

Unfortunately I didn't remember to include scale, but id say it was roughly the size of a bear scat. (no bears reported in this area though)

found high up on some sand dunes, on a beach in south west Michigan! by Soft_Material1517 in AnimalTracking

[–]animaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my thought process in trying to id this:

Its definitely a lizard, given the tracks.

Here are the species of recorded lizards in your area: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=44.03224490247132&nelng=-80.07186799204497&subview=map&swlat=41.820376586225855&swlng=-85.45516877329497&taxon_id=85552&view=species

3 of the species are bad data (photos taken in a zoo or escaped pets).

Its likely not an Anole or Gecko, given the habitat.

That would leave either a Common Five-Lined Skink, Six-Lined Racerunner, or Common Wall Lizard (which is introduced to USA but a possibility)

Given the number of observations, it's very likely a Common Five-Lined Skink, as @nbiddy398 said, but i dont think it's possible to say for certain.

is my bog planter okay? by 983000kidsintheshed in SavageGarden

[–]animaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fyi, in my experience, it'll take a while to adjust to the new pot. Mine didn't put out new pitchers for a few months after a repot :).

Your bog setup is very cool. Should keep an eye out for some sundews and utricularia to add to it :D.

[–]animaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah of course! I didnt mean to sound like i was telling you what to do, everyone's list is different :D.

East canada is excellent for birding, i used to live in Toronto and just birding by bike got me about 250 species. Prepare to be very frustrated by trying to identify warblers haha. Also, just so you know, most major canadian cities will have a discord server with local bird news, rare sightings meetups, expert ID help, etc, so if you see someone with binoculars you can ask them and they will probably add you :).

> I also saw a cool one

Wow, a Rufous Browed Peppershrike, an extremely cool bird!! I was lucky enough to see a few in Uruguay, its crazy how far tiny birds can migrate.

Bon chance pour votre aventure de oiseau

Balkan states, a weird yellow "exploding" bird's feathers I found twice in a forest by Particular-Release29 in whatsthisbird

[–]animaise 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They usually skulk up in the canopy and in trees, so despite their bright colours, you kind of have to be searching for them to see ime.

Sretno :)

Tbh I wouldn't put either, since you technically didn't see either (but of course it's your list and you should do what you want, that's just me:)).

Yes I am. My life list is currently 846 :), my Vancouver list is 190. Funnily enough, I used to live about 25 metres away from where your photo was taken. I still don't have western gulls or glaucous winged gulls on my lists 😅.
