Hybrid Great Black Backed Gull x Glaucous Gull. Flashback to an individual from Ballycotton, Cork. 2013. The only individual from this mix I have ever seen. What a stunning looking beast! 😍 #birds #birding #gullsWP #birdhybrids #seabirds #gulls #birdwatching #irishrarebirds

The birds Chris photographed (sent to me from X) aren't Pinkfeet. They're Greylag hybrids (admittedly possibly with Pinkfoot, although I've never seen one before!). You'll like these @markgolley.bsky.social #birdhybrids
This young swan hanging around with the local Mutes has been causing some headaches. Inset shows it’s Bewick’s-sized but bill pattern (especially lhs) & head/bill structure closer - but not quite right - for Whooper. Could it be a hybrid? #birdhybrids
The darkness of the flanks suggest New Zealand Scaup x Tufted Duck perhaps?. I would rule out RND on flank panel shape. The bird behind appears to be a Tufted x Red-crested Pochard #birdhybrids
This one is confusing me a bit.... the one in the front, obviously :-) #birdhybrids #birds #ducks
Picture from ornitho.ch by Nicolas Aregger in Alpnach (CH), Jan 11th. Speculation is Ring-necked x Tufted duck or x Lesser Scaup or even pure Lesser, which I exclude based on the nail. Thoughts?

A goose on green grass. Looks like a canada goose but with a shorter beak, a dark breast and “cuter” proportions.
Each time I come across this guy I’m getting excited, finally my first crackling goose - then I notice the dark breast …

A brown and speckled duck stands in shallow water amongst rocks and pebbles. It has a bluish-grey bill and a flash of green and orange on its wing.
This rather strange duck is currently visiting some of my local spots.
presumably a hybrid between a White-Cheeked Pintail from America and a Chestnut Teal from Australia

Buston Links Teal - 3 months on and this is what she now looks like. Seems to have got a bit greyer ??? The bill still looks big but looking more BWT ??. I thought I had this case closed as a hybrid (BWT x Shoveler) but today's views have put my head back a fuzz. #NEbirding #birdhybrids
Today, the Buston Links Teal brought her babies out for a family photo. Ducklings already developing a big beak and white loral spot. Be interesting to see how they develop further. #NEbirding #birdhybrids Presumably (BWT x Shoveler) x Shoveler hybrids.
Buston Links - The female Blue winged Teal x Shoveler hybrid reappeared today with five-eight, week old, presumably (BWT x Shoveler) x Shoveler hybrid ducklings. Coming to a duckpond near you!!!! She is keeping the chicks well hidden but a couple did make it onto the photos. #NEbirding #Birdhybrids
Thanks for sharing this interesting bird! The slightly visible white spur on the flank and probable grey hue with the head shape sure makes it a candidate for a RND hybrid. But why not Common Pochard as the second parent? Probably you really documented the first :-) #BirdHybrids
A presumed Black-headed x Mediterranean Gull hybrid. Amble, Northumberland, UK 15/06/2025 #Birds #UKbirding #Birdhybrids #Gulls
Presumably Tufted x Red-crested Pochard. Not a #birdhybrids I’ve seen before.
Hello Tom, I would love to understand why the consensus is hybrid BWT x Shoveler? (I think it is a Cinnamon Teal)? #birdhybrids
Blue-winged Teal x Northern Shoveler hybrid #birdhybrids
A stunning Mourning Warbler x Common Yellowthroat has been seen in Tioga NY! ebird.org/checklist/S237… #hybridbirds #birdhybrids

Pretty classic Carolina x Black-capped Chickadee in the hybrid zone near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania last week! Head like Carolina, body like Black-capped and 3 note song #hybridbirds #birdhybrids
Spotted x Eastern Towhee at Beechwood Farms Pennsylvania last week! #hybridbirds #birdhybrids
Interesting goose, best guess it's a Greyada or should that be Canalag? #BirdHybrids at Slimbridge @wwtworldwide.bsky.social
Had this intersex Teal at Woodhall airfield. First time I've seen it in this species. #lincsbirding #ukbirding #birdhybrids @applewildlife.bsky.social 2nd pic taken by @clivemoore.bsky.social
