It's very like a female Stonechat - Saxicola torquata - but seems smaller, and with some markings missing....
But I AM trying.:)

Yes it is very like but it is not exactly what I was asking for :14:
Try again, not that far from the answer I want :D
Well that looks like a Whinchat, Saxicola rubetra.
All those Saxicola look (more or less) the same.
This is a Vitgumpad buskskvättaSaxicola maurus :thumbsup:
Stay tuned :D
I ruled out Whinchat as the last pic was too pale and both pics lacked the eye markings shown on the RSPB and other sites!
So, 'Siberian Stonechat'! Can I not get half a point there?:-HaHaHa
Point´s taken :14:
Try this one for more points
Great Black-backed Gull juvenile? - Larus marinus
Close !
Next :D
Ok, I'm going to try Yellow-legged Gull - Larus michahellis - even though I can't see its legs! ;)
That´s what I wanted to read :D
Medelhavstrut Larus michahellis
A nice bird, well done !
Try this !
Not that easy me Think :conf40:
Looks like a Spotted Redshank - Tringa erythropus - but I guess that would be too easy.....:confused:
It was not easy - if You know :D
Svartsnäppa Tringa erythropus
Well done !
Time for a new bird :D
Not really sure about this one, only thing I can think of is female Scarlet Rosefinch, Carpodacus erynthrinus.
It seems to have the beak of a Shrike though ...................
I'm trying female Woodchat Shrike - Lanius senator
But that will possibly just make Rolf look good again...:conf40:
Have all about this bird at work :-doh so we all have to wait until Monday:D
Hope the waiting did not stress You ?
Rödhuvad törnskata Lanius senator :thumbsup:
Well done !
A Monday bird !
Looks like an American Wigeon, Ana americana, a rare vagrant to the UK.
Yes it is !
Amerikansk bläsand Anas americana :thumbsup:
We call it American Wigeon, have a few here
Well done.
and a bird for the weekend (?) :D
OK, weekend over, so will have a punt at Arctic Redpoll, Carduelis hornemanni. :)
Sure is Rolf !
Snösiska Carduelis hornemanni :thumbsup:
Good finding.:D
It is (as always) time for a new bird.
This one is somewhat "special" :D
Raven? - Corvus corax.....
No, this is a BIG bird :D
This bird is not common up here, still we see them every now and then.
It´s a Very Big Bird :D
One more pic
Well, it's neither a Stepps Eagle, nor a White-tailed one, so any clues at all - P-l-e-a-s-e!:conf40:
Well I guess I have to spill the beans. This is not a common bird :thumbsup: even if we see one every now and then.
Jättehavsörn]Haliaeetus pelagicus :D
Jätte in Swedish means Gigant and it sure is, like a small aeroplan;)
Stay tuned
Ahh, that would explain ie, couldn't find anything like it. :) Magnificent bird though.
Steller's Sea Eagle? Lovely bird! Should get half a mark for saying 'Eagle' twice, and the White-tailed Eagle is a Sea Eagle too!:)
Well, I told You it was a special one :)
Hope this bird is a better one :thumbsup:
That looks more recognisable, how about a Guillemot Uria aalge?
Guillemot Uria aalge, sillgrissla in Swedish :thumbsup:
Well done !
A Monday bird ! :D
Really not much idea of what that is, perhaps some sort of Sandgrouse, Pterocles?
No, it is not. They do look the same, many of them water birds:)
Grey Partridge - Perdix perdix?
