Guess the Map IX: The Richese are no match

[Pangur Bán]

None of those. If you aren't aware, most of the Wikipedia articles about particular birds have maps such as this, so it might be worth checking those to see if a potential answer is plausible.

I guess this isn't an easy map after all. As another clue, the bird in question is a variation (in name and in fact) of a bird that is relatively common in all Western countries and which is prominent in various northern mythologies.

 

[Kyriakos]

Crow or Raven? (if correct then i grant the right for the map to those discovering earlier stages of the answer ).

 

[Pangur Bán]

Getting very warm Kyriakos, but need a more specific answer.

 

[really]

Hooded crow.

I assumed they would be present all over western europe.

 

[JohannaK]

The hooded crow, it seems.

PS:

 

[really]

All right - since my last effort was figured out very quickly hopefully this is will be harder.

Edit: The map I used was wrong - it had highlighted Montenegro and Malawi incorrectly
I have updated it clumsily.

Thanks to those who narrowed down the guessing above.

^You should enlarge the map due to the dot-countries there. I suppose one of them is Montenegro?

 

[Pangur Bán]

Hooded crow.

Spoiler :

That's correct.

 

[JohannaK]

Montenegro, Monaco, San Marino, Liechtenstein and Switzerland in Europe.

I've added a list to the post - I'm too lazy to resize it.

That's correct.

Thanks - I thought about them earlier but assumed they wouldn't be restricted to Ireland and the islands/highlands of Scotland.
I had looked through some sea birds to see if I could find it.

They are classified as pests here - anecdotally they have been known to peck out the eyes of newborn lambs.

 

[really]

Montenegro, Monaco, San Marino, Liechtenstein and Switzerland in Europe.

Montenegro shouldn't have been there

 

[Goodfella]

Countries where the capital isn't the largest the city?

 

[really]

Well that was embarrassingly quick - correct.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, 4.5 hours is very fast, but it's hardly the record.

 

[Goodfella]

Here's a new one:

 

[Kyriakos]

Here's a new one:

Seems a possibility that it is german-centered (germany-austria and south africa), although the green in US doesn't fit the more obvious pattern if that is the case

Btw, the other blue bit in Africa is Gambia?

no, thats Guinea-Bissau.

 

[Kyriakos]

no, thats Guinea-Bissau.

Is the map about coup d'état then?
(only thing in the wiki which stood out).

 

[Borachio]

It's a bit of a puzzler.

Is it anything about partitions?

 

[Goodfella]

It's related to technology again.
