Red Kite Milvus milvus.


Pete.

I did think of a Red Kite but couldn't really tell. as I have never seen one for real and I thought . Let Pete have this one :-santa1

Well done:-cthumb

No, sorry but this is more like a hawk :-snowball

Red-Tailed Hawk. - Buteo jamaicensis ?

No, sorry but it is not what I was looking for :)

Montague's Harrier Circus pygarus? Would have to be a female. Not very common in UK and Scandinavia.

Goshawk - Accipiter gentilis ?

It´s an Ängshök so Rolf was right. However it is not common, as raptors seldom are nowdays. Still a few has been reported :thumbsup:

Well done Rolf !

Well done Rolf :thumbsup:

Here is a very nice and reddish bird :)

Scarlet Rosefinch- Carpodacus erythrinus

Can't disagree there Beryl, what a lovely looking bird.:)

Yes. it is a beautiful looking :)

Hmm, it is a bit look-a-like but it´s not a Scarlet Rosefinch :conf40:

OK, there are a few which look similar, but going by the grey stomach, it may perhaps be a Pine Grosbeak - Pinicola enucleator?
