    Elena Bobachenko: Можно ли по этим фотографиям птицу определить. Это же вроде славка? Я склоняюсь, что ястребиная.

    Анна Ясько: Думаю, может. Черный цвет на рулевых доходит почти до основания. Выделяющееся на общем фоне белесое плечико - тоже характерный признак молодой [....]

    2023-06-19. to photo # 06820017901 (Great Reed Warbler)

    Сергей Силантьев: Судя по коротким средним рулевым и внешнему виду вроде бы северная бормотушка, но хорошо бы для уточнения еще снимки....Если есть выложите.
