Hi guys,

any comments on birds with rings 66CH, 72CH and 82CH.

cheers

hi luka,

congrats to the finnish tatus. most birds seem to be michahellis, albeit some odd ones among them. one cachi or cachi x tatus. see my notes on the blog.

best wishes,

lou

hi luka,

don't know where that comment went...basically i had all down as michahellis except for 62CH which is either a pure well marked cachinnans or a hybrid cach x tatus.
58CH to me looks like a micha, not tatus. too many coverts replaced and tail pattern is in line with micha. some 1st cycle michas have a remarkable window and one has a pale iris.
72CH indeed has a very plain pattern, but with that bill it ought to be micha. very interesting is the secondary and inner primary moult in 80CH!
