White-necked Myna

Small, energetic, sharp-billed warbler. Always shows strong striping on the underparts. Madagascar endemic that is found in rainforest, spiny forest, and scrub, and only very locally in dry deciduous forest. Often joins flocks with other small bird species. Song in the east is a long, sweet, up-and-down trill. Song in the west is a complicated series of high notes and lower trills. Larger and bigger-billed than other jeries, with dark legs and strong striping below. Smaller than Rand’s Warbler, with a greener back, a weaker eye-stripe, and streaking below. 

Large, long-tailed sparrow. Look for black stripes bordering yellow crown, especially obvious on breeding adults. Immatures are browner but still show yellow in the center of the crown. Often looks scruffy and not as crisp as White-crowned Sparrow. Breeds in low, shrubby areas of tundra or at edges of boreal forest. Frequents forest edges, backyards, and scrubby areas in winter and migration. Often in flocks with White-crowned Sparrow. Forages on the ground and in low vegetation for seeds and insects. Visits feeders.

Brightly-colored inhabitant of wooded and forested habitats, parks, gardens, and hedges in farmland. Plumage distinctive, with blue cap, white face with dark line through eyes, yellow underparts. Smaller and more active than Great Tit, which often occurs alongside Eurasian Blue Tit but has a very different head pattern, different calls. Juvenile (seen in summer–early autumn) has yellowish wash to face, drabber plumage overall. Often visits bird feeders and uses nest boxes. Listen for variable high-pitched vocalizations, as well as harsh scolding calls.
