Fulica atra

Germany

I don't think I've seen a Coot out of water - look at the size of those feet. It was standing on a partially-submerged park bench, as the Main River was overflowing in Frankfurt.

Marsh Tit (1)

Parus palustris

Chris

Austria

Date taken: Mar 20 2011

Details: adult

The first Marsh Tit I've been able to properly photograph. They are constantly on the move, but someone had setup a feeder in an abandoned woodlot near Salzburg. It was feeding with Long-tailed Tit, Blue Tit and Great Tit all at the same time.
The Marsh Tit is told from the Willow Tit by small black bib, and glossy cap.

Fork-tailed or Pacific Swift (1)

Apus pacificus

Chris

Bangladesh

Date taken: May 22 2011

Details: adult

As I couldn't take out my long lens at the airport, this was the best I could do without getting arrested. There were hoards of Pacific Swifts at Dhaka airport, all flying under where I was standing into some kind of overhang. I'm surprised the authorities don't mind, considering how close they are to the planes.
