Radisson - 2016 / Smiley & Princess
burdi:
I should mention a bit about how I arrived at Smiley regarding the pics in question. First, I really do think that was Smiley in the pic posted at 15:31, but I’m still undecided about the two pics posted at 15:29. The malar stripe on Smiley does not match what I see on the left side of the bird in the top pic, and the bird in the pic also appears a bit large, so going with that, I would have said this is Princess. However, I decided to say Smiley since this bird appears to have a very white chest; I’ve also considered things which can make a bird’s markings look very unclear - such as angle, light and distance. It’s happened before, so at times I’m somewhat doubtful as to whether or not what I’m seeing at such a distance is true. Oh well, I look forward to finding out exactly who the birds are in Alison’s pics (no rush of course!). :)

I haven’t seen the experts who can answer our questions around here lately, Alison, though I hope they’re well and simply enjoying a much deserved break! I understand you’re wanting an answer as to who is in the pics (which I do not have), but hopefully you won’t mind too much as I’d like to try a guess while waiting for our experts to return.
I often find it difficult to distinguish this pair from a distance; however, my best guess is that Smiley is the bird in your pic at 15:31, and Smiley is also the bird in your two pics at 15:29.
Alison, it’s unlikely that guesses will be helpful to you or anyone else, but if you should get an answer, then I may also find out if I’m getting any better or worse!

Love to see them return home now and then! - I saw some-birdie there yesterday at 7:15pm. Waiting for the bus is the best and only way I get to see them. - Although I could have sworn a kiddie swooped over my house this morning - North West St James - it was the 'caw-ing' that got my attention. :)
