@TomCadwallender @SteelySeabirder @NTBirdClub @gannetrocks @polyolbion @BirdWatchingMag The problem as always is the the American names are different to ours and it's so confusing! The Field guide has them as either Gray Crowned Rosy Finch or Black Rosy Finch!!!! Thanks again Tom as always much appreciated.

[Steve Newman @SteevNewman]

Anyone got any ideas as to what this is please? I took the picture yesterday at Dutch Harbour in The Aleutian Islands but it's doing my head in! @TomCadwallender @SteelySeabirder @NTBirdClub @gannetrocks @polyolbion @BirdWatchingMag Can't find it in the field guide!

[Steve Newman @SteevNewman]

@TomCadwallender @SteelySeabirder @NTBirdClub @gannetrocks @polyolbion @BirdWatchingMag Thanks Tom. They were doing some sort of courtship dance which is why one is blurred.
