Sorry, I can't recognise much. I'm pretty sure that the last two letters in the first word are "st". The second one could be an old-fashioned "r". The second word starts with an "S", or maybe it's an "L". The rest is almost illegible. SxxLexxR? (x = unsure which letter it is.) Sxxtexxx? Something starting with "System"? (Wild guess.)
Are you sure it's a bird's name? Is it written on an egg?
If you have more of this person's writing that you can look at, try to compare the letters.

My guess was Aust WxxxR. An Australian Warbler??? But that takes us a long way from German. . . .
Could the first word be Arzt?
Perhaps ''Arzt (name of the doctor: Scohe/Lohe?) - OK''
In this case it's not a bird's name, of course.

Arzt Scohera. 
Since the first word is definitely Arzt (means "doctor" in German) I assume the second word is the doctor's surname. The word kind of looks like "Scohera" to me. If you google "the surname" you'll see there are a lot of people with this last name indeed.

But you don't address doctors by "Arzt" but by "Dr.". I'm not even sure if the first letter could be a capital A.

It's probably just a scribbled note (eine Merknotiz), not a letter.
I'm afraid with that little information, it can only be guesswork, don't you think so?
Venturing a guess, maybe it is Austernfischer.
Vogelarten von A wie Amsel bis E wie Elster * Flügelschlag und Leisetreter

I see something like SpoLe in the middle part which could be indicating a "Spottlerche". The first word seems to be "Arst" and the last one is just an "R". Mysterious ...
hi jennifer,thankyou so much for your help i wonder if there are any birds names that begin with doctor even if they are nicknames,take care.Arzt Scohera.

hi frieder,thankyou for your help,much appreciated are there any birds names in german that start with doctor even if it is a nickname?take care and best wishes
When I fırst saw your question, I took the time to google a list of birds in German. Unfortunately, I've never found anything that resembles the guesses here. It brings me to the conclusion the word might have nothing to do with the name of a bird in German. It can be literally anything.
hi maguia,yes very difficult i know,thankyou so much for your efforts,take care.
oh well thats a shame,the mystery continues but thankyou so much for your efforts,take care and stay safe.
