ODDS, SMALL TO MEDIUM BIRDS – 30 species [v18.12, 147 additions]
This is one of 14 galleries into which photos of specific birds may be lodged. In alphabetical order they are: 1-‘Ciconiiformes’ (large waders etc.); 2-‘Corvids, Starlings, Doves, Pigeons’; 3-‘Finches, Buntings, plus’; 4-‘Gulls and Terns’; 5-‘Larks, Thrushes, Woodpeckers’; 6-‘Odds, medium to large’; 7-‘Odds, small to medium’; 8-‘Pipits, Wagtails, Hirundines, Swifts’; 9-‘Raptors including Owls and Vultures’; 10-‘Sea Birds and similar‘; 11-‘Tits, Warblers, and similar’; 12-‘Waders A to R’; 13-‘Waders S to Z’; and 14-‘Wild Fowl including Swans’. As usual there are a few poor photos that are there for record purposes only. The explanatory text that goes with the Home Page gallery will be revised accordingly.
This gallery and its colleague ‘ODDS, medium to large birds’ is intended as a ‘home’ for birds which, for one reason or another (balancing numbers or ignorance being favourites), were not placed in one of the other galleries. The Antillean Crested Hummingbird (photos from Antigua and Grenada) has a blue crest in Grenada (see photo 08) as well as in Barbados and the Grenadines.
V16.03 ADDITIONS: One new species, the Gray Catbird (2 photos). Also 1 additional Northern Cardinal; 1 Eastern Phoebe; and 2 Loggerhead Shrikes. All the photos were taken on the trip to Florida, early 2016.
V16.08 ADDITIONS: No new species. Eight of the photos taken on a trip to SW Portugal in June 2016: Bee-eater 8-12; and Roller 3-5. One Dunnock, 7, was photographed on a trip to Mull, May 2016.
V18.01 ADDITIONS: No new species. Three Dunnock (08-10); Two Hoopoe (07-08); Kingfisher (150; Nuthatch (10).

N.B. More photos etc. of the Dipper can be seen in its ‘single species’ gallery. There are seven such pull-down galleries and it is hoped more (e.g. Bee-eater) will be added.
