I've never seen one, but they are such a striking bird, I reckon it's a Bee-eater - Merops apiaster. :)

Yes it is and a great picture as well :thumbsup:
In Swedish Biätare. beeater :) Merops apiaster Biätare
Let us see if You can name this bird !:D
Looks like a Garganey - Anas querquedula.:)
Yes Sir !
Årta Garganey Anas querquedula:thumbsup:
Well done again :)
So, what about this one ??:conf40:
Jack Snipe - Lymnocryptes minimus
Hmm, crafty.:)
The tip of his beak is hidden under his wing, but the brown behind his eye and the head stripes make it a Broad-billed Sandpiper I reckon.:) Limicola falcinellus
Yes could be
Sure is :thumbsup:
Myrsnäppa Broad-billed Sandpiper Limicola falcinellus :D
This is not easy, I hope :):D
Greenshank - Tringa nebularia
No, it is not a green one ;)
Looks like it may be the Terek Sandpiper, as it is the only other bird I can find with a similar bill and colouring, think it's not too common though.:) Xenus cinereus
Right, it is a Sandpiper :thumbsup: Terek
Maybe not so common but we do see them every now and then :)
Here is something special. Mostly because it is a great picture.
Let us see if You can guess what it is !
Crumbs Cris, no idea on this one, been through every Finch and Bunting I can think of and doesn't come close.:)
Is the one in thwe middle Blue-capped Cordon-bleu Uraeginthus cyanocephalus ?
And the others may be waxbills finches
Well, I am sorry but I have no idea :eek:
It was just a good picture I wanted to share with You !
So here is the real next question :D
What on earth is this?:conf40:
Ahh, nearly caught me out, was looking at Thrushes at first, but then looked at the beak and body size and thought it must be a field bird.:) I'll go for Corncrake Crex crex.:)
Of course it is :thumbsup:
Kornknarr Corn Crake Crex crex
A name that sounds like the bird :D
and this little friend ?
Ringed plover - Charadrius hiaticula ?
Very close Beryl, but I think it's the Little-ringed Plover Charadrius dubius, as it has a dark bill.
Oh. Yes. you are right Rolf :) :thumbsup: I have never seen either
LOL, me neither.:) Well perhaps one of them in flight, but not 100% sure.:)
Don't think we have them here. Might at Bowling Green Marsh :)
A Plover one it is :thumbsup:
Mindre strandpipare Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius
Well done :D
So, here we have a nice picture of a ............. :conf40:
Dipper - Cinclus cinclus
No, not really :conf40:
Oh ............:conf40:
I think it's a lesser Whitethroat, Sylvia curruca.
Sure is :D
Ärtsångare Lesser Whitethroat Sylvia curruca :thumbsup:
In Swedish it´s called Pea singer :-rofl
A new approach
What will come out from those eggs ??? :conf40:
The size is shown by using a Swedish 5 krona 25 mm
Right, I'll need some time on this. :-rofl
Meadow Pipit's eggs
Got this small bird for You why You try to find the egg, or rather who laid them :)
Looks like a Subalpine warbler Sylvia cantillans.:)
