| Bird number 300 on my life list is the Black Redstart seen first in Como Italy |
I have found birds here much more difficult to approach than in Utah, making getting pictures rather difficult. The only bird that is easily approached is the Great Tit and they often buzz me while I am birding. Here is a list of birds seen including new life birds, a couple of mystery geese and a few more pictures.
*Common Magpie
Blue Tit
Common Raven
 |
| Great Tit |
 |
| Common Blackbird |
 |
| European Robin quite common but very skiddish very difficult to photograph |
Wood Pigeon
 |
| Black Redstart quite common but very difficult to approach. |
*Common Buzzard
*Great Cormorant
 |
| *Fieldfare |
 |
| *Graylag Goose |
In this group of Graylag Geese were a couple of hybrids one looks like a possible Canada Goose or Barnacle Goose hybrid, I don't know, if any one can shed some light please leave a comment.

Congratulations on bird #300. Reading your European posts has made me realize that there is a major gap in my field guide collection. I dont have a guide to the birds of Europe. Which one did you use?
There is a domestic goose of African origin. Your photo of the second domestic hybrid looks like it could be from that strain.
Amazing pictures Steve! I had no idea you were so into birding.

Hey Steve,
Your pictures are truly amazing! They should be published in a magazine -- they are that good! You are so very skilled in so many ways -- it's very impressive.
