Dutch birds – sounds and appearance
Language/English
Please note: Because this deck reached the 250MB maximum here on AnkiWeb, no further extensions will be made to it here. The deck has been uploaded to AnkiHub (https://app.ankihub.net/decks/5bf6faa9-ae42-4885-98d5-c47ba23e58e7), where future changes may be made. I will try to update the deck here as well in case of any changes to existing notes, for those who do not have access to AnkiHub. However, any new notes, if they ever are added, will not be included here.
This deck contains most of the common birds encountered in the Netherlands. I may add some more birds later on if I find I've forgotten any that are important, but the bulk of it is done.
It is fit for international students (questions are in English). Sources are http://waarneming.nl and http://xeno-canto.nl—images and sounds included make use of the creative commons license and sources have been given for all of them.
Questions per bird: Image → Name (if relevant, one question for female and one for male birds) Sounds → Name (if relevant, distinction between call and song; I might add alarm and courting calls at some later date)
Enjoy, and feel free to give me any feedback, be it positive or negative.

| Extra | Note that duck species tend to have a recognizable patch of color on the secondary wing feathers (basically the upper arm feathers) visible in flight or sometimes slightly behind the upper feathers when not in flight. This is called the speculum (Dutch: spiegel) and is often the only way to clearly identify between species, especially for the females, who otherwise look very similar.Duck species:mallard/wilde eend: speculum blue banded with black, then again with white, orange-yellow beak, male: green or sometimes blue head, narrow white band around neck, dark chest, white belly;gadwall/krakeend: speculum white, beak dark, otherwise mostly gray, male: fine pattern of black and white on the chest;northern shoveler/slobeend: very large beak, black for male, orange for female, speculum green, banded on the inside with white, male: green head, white chest, rust-colored side, white further back, dark again at tail;Eurasian/common teal/wintertaling: speculum (from outside in) black, green, white, beak dark (for female orangish at the bottom), male: chestnut brown head with green patch from back of head coming up to around the eye, chest white with black spots, side finely patterned with black and white;Eurasian wigeon/smient: beak bluish gray with black tip, female otherwise best recognizable by darkish feathers with white belly, male: head chestnut brown, cream forehead, salmon chest, sides a fine pattern of gray and white, tail dark;tufted duck/kuifeend: beak bluish gray with black tip, best recognizable by tuft on back of head (long for male in summer, short or almost absent otherwise) and dark color (black for male, dark brown female) with large light patch on side (white for summer male, lighter brown otherwise);common pochard/tafeleend: beak black with lighter band in the middle (sometimes missing for female), male: head reddish brown, chest black, side white, tail black, female: head and chest brown, further back lighter brown or white, tail black. |
