I don't think this is entirely a lens effect although it does look like there is some wide-angle style lens distortion. <br />The bill does look too heavy for our western palearctic accentors, and given the location, I suspect that it could be an African species. <br />Also given the popularity of cage birds in Malta, one cannot rule out something more exotic.TheBaldIbishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435223245610686094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659417917565449349.post-17349760643168699002010-11-03T23:23:59.273+00:002010-11-03T23:23:59.273+00:00it does have the look of an Accentor but the bill ...it does have the look of an Accentor but the bill looks to heavy, I've seen six species and they all have dainty fine bills - is the large looking bill a photo effect? could this be some African species, very odd birdmartynbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929205797496157513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659417917565449349.post-18077194137634143312010-11-03T13:52:16.684+00:002010-11-03T13:52:16.684+00:00Given the location, lack of black and more pale th...Given the location, lack of black and more pale throat if anything, whitish supercilium and heavy streaks on flanks I think Radde's Accentor is most likely, but in truth I haven't seen either species so I could be way off the mark.David Tattersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153584998409105740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659417917565449349.post-81166395251810930182010-11-02T21:27:29.407+00:002010-11-02T21:27:29.407+00:00black throated accentor i thinkblack throated accentor i thinkdarrell j presthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313287015495565012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659417917565449349.post-24074892460563027452010-09-19T23:21:18.335+01:002010-09-19T23:21:18.335+01:00That is an imaginative peaceful protest!
