1 Baltimore Oriole- remember seeing this bird in Oxon
2 Chaffinch
3 Dartford Warbler
4 Resembles Lesser Scaup but not right; must be an Aythya hybrid-poss. Scaup x Tufted Duck?

[Perry Grin]

1 No idea!
2 Chaffinch
3 Dartford Warbler
4 Tuftie X ?

[paulchandler6]

Paul

[Goatboy]

1) Baltimore Oriole

2) Chaffinch

3) Dartford Warbler (changed my mind here)

4) Scaup (lesser?)

[Pete Collins]

My guesses are:
1) Brambling
2) Bullfinch
3) Dartford Warbler
4) Hybrid, Pochard x Tufted Duck

[paulchandler6]

Heres the answers.

The first bird is a Baltimore Oriole that turned up in Oxford a couple of years back.

The second is a Two-barred Crossbill in Cowleaze Wood.

The third is a Dartford Warbler on Otmoor.

The fourth is an Aythya hybrid at Farmoor res. First thought to be a Lesser Scaup but did not quite fit. For one point it showed a green sheen to the head and not purple.

Well done.

Cheers.
