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
