For the next one I did choose a not too sharp picture.
It would be too easy if it was a good picture:)

Well it's an Eagle of some sort dig, possibly an Osprey - Pandion haliaetus ?
An eagle it is, the biggest we have here in Sweden :thumbsup:
Osprey is a good guess but not right spot on :conf40:

Not really, this is the sea version:)

The large animal may be a Hereford
Kohäger Bubulcus ibis :thumbsup:
A nice picture, was it not ?
I was searching for a Longhorn but Hereford would do :)
This next one is a beautiful bird.
A not too common visitor to our shores, but a couple were spotted last year, it is of course a Hoopoe - Upupa epops
Used to be resident in Sweden until the 1920s.
Still rather common here
Härfågel Upupa epops
Very good looking bird !
I know it was too easy, next will be a harder nut to crack (I hope) :thumbsup:
Still an easy bird, but it is so beautiful so I just have to post it !
Hmm, think it is too hard if I don´t post the bird :)
Ahh, that there be a Waxwing Dig. :) *Bombycilla garrulus, they Winter in some UK spots. :)
