Loving the article on #BirdHybrid Great Spotted x Syrian Woodpecker. Illustration of a hybrid by @artkokay.bsky.social is a great choice for the cover. A candidate for vagrancy to the UK too (more likely than pure Syrian) with apparent hybrids recorded in Netherlands & Germany: I didn’t know that! 🪶

A day and a half waterfowl birding around Lake Constance at the end of January resulted in some good observations. Almost with a touch of North America...

Interesting to see that two species which have more-or-less similar males and females produce hybrid offspring that are clearly sexually dimorphic #BirdHybrid

Ferruginous x Pochard in the rain at Welney yesterday. Note how this hybrid retains Ferruginous traits of white in secondaries and even white spot on chin. #BirdHybrid #UKBirding

Interesting hybrid goose at Titchwell - probably Canada/Greylag? Next to a full Greylag for size reference.

#BirdHybrid No. 30: Western Reef Heron x Little Egret.
There have been quite a few records of this hybrid in Europe, and it’s likely to become commoner as Western Reef Heron pushes north.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these (busy summer, etc.) but this seems like a good prompt to start them off again…

I don’t seem to be able to reply to this but I think it’s more likely to be Pochard x Ring-necked Duck. Even that is a surprisingly unusual hybrid given the number of Ring-necked Ducks found loitering with Pochard in Western Europe. #BirdHybrid

#BirdHybrid I am not sure what I got here...terrible pictures, my apologies, I only realized that this is a Teal after browsing pictures from Jun 20th. It is clearly in molt, it almost looks like it could be a Green-winged teal, but I do see hints of two white stripes. Hybrid?

#BirdHybrid A duck recently posted on Fb, picture taken a couple of days ago in Switzerland. Looks like a hybrid with Scaup in it, plus Ferruginous Duck or Common Pochard. However, some aspects argue for and against one or the other. The head seems to have a purple sheen. Any thoughts?

Captive presumed female Eurasian Wigeon x Chiloe Wigeon hybrid, standing more-or-less front-on. Not the heavily barred breast.
Captive presumed female Eurasian Wigeon x Chiloe Wigeon hybrid, side view.
Captive presumed male Eurasian Wigeon x Chiloe Wigeon hybrid, swimming, side view. This individual has a strong green head band. Note also the extent of orangey chestnut tones on the body.
Captive presumed male Eurasian Wigeon x Chiloe Wigeon hybrid, swimming, from behind but with head turned to the side showing of its green head band.
#BirdHybrid No. 28: Eurasian Wigeon x Chiloe Wigeon.
With Chiloe Wigeon a popular bird in collections and often escaping, it’s worth being aware of this hybrid. Some individuals can be tricky to tell from Eurasian Wigeon x American Wigeon hybrids (and some have been mistaken for vagrant American).

Blog Post: #Finland & #Estonia Spring 2025. The real learning experience of the trip was this #birdhybrid Collared x Pied Flycatcher in song & holding territory. A real looker...& A real danger if one were to pop up as a vagrant. 😱😍 #birds 🪶 #birding

One of the two paler Egyptian Goose x Mallard hybrids, standing with its wings lifted up. The body is brown and the head slightly darker except for an indistinct pale cheek/lores. The legs are orange as on Mallard but the bill is pink and grey, more like Egyptian Goose. #NorfolkBirding
One of the two darker Egyptian Goose x Mallard hybrids, standing on the bank of the lake. Much like the paler birds this has orange legs and pink bill but the plumage is darker (normal). The pale patch on the head is divided below the eye and below the lores.
The other darker Egyptian Goose x Mallard hybrids, swimming. This one is showing its speculum which appears more purple than on Mallard, with black edges (no white as on Mallard). This is the darkest individual. The head is mostly dark but has a faint pale patch at the rear of the cheeks and a clear pale patch between the bill and the eye (undivided, unlike on the other dark bird). The breast is more reddish than the rest of the body, presumably inherited from the Mallard parent.
One of the two paler Egyptian Goose x Mallard hybrids, swimming. This is similar to the other pale individual but the head pattern is a little different, including some vague darker lines through the pale patch below/in front of the eye.
#BirdHybrid No. 27 (better late than never): Egyptian Goose x Mallard.
These were a group of four, siblings I assume. The pale flight feathers on two probably indicate the Mallard parent was a domestic variant though as leucistic Egyptian Geese aren’t uncommon that isn’t certain.
From Sept 2007.🪶
