Like everybody knows, the Siberian Rubythroat is of course an escaped cage bird. But no one dares to be critical because everybody want to add this beautiful bird to their personal birding list despite the strange colours of the chest and legs, the odd time of the year (January!), the fact that the bird is tame and a wintering Siberian Rubythroat was never seen before in Western Europe...
Youngling meets youngling and that's just in the area where I live. I saw, with amazement, both had a lot to tell each other. The conversation went on and on and my astonishment only grew with each passing minute. What were they talking about?

Dear all,
Last weekend I saw the pictures of the Dutch Spotless Starling on the internet. I'am pretty sure the Dutch bird is a Spotless Starling from the subspeci orani.

This new subspeci is found in the northwest-area of Morocco.
