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

Yes it is very like but it is not exactly what I was asking for
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
Stay tuned.gif "Big Grin")
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?
Point´s taken
Try this one for more points
Great Black-backed Gull juvenile? - Larus marinus
Close !
Next
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
Medelhavstrut Larus michahellis
A nice bird, well done !
Try this !
Not that easy me Think
Looks like a Spotted Redshank - Tringa erythropus - but I guess that would be too easy.....
It was not easy - if You know
Svartsnäppa Tringa erythropus
Well done !
Time for a new bird
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...
Have all about this bird at workso we all have to wait until Monday
Hope the waiting did not stress You ?
Rödhuvad törnskata Lanius senator
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
We call it American Wigeon, have a few here
Well done.
and a bird for the weekend (?)
OK, weekend over, so will have a punt at Arctic Redpoll, Carduelis hornemanni.
Sure is Rolf !
Snösiska Carduelis hornemanni
Good finding.
It is (as always) time for a new bird.
This one is somewhat "special"
Raven? - Corvus corax.....
No, this is a BIG bird
This bird is not common up here, still we see them every now and then.
It´s a Very Big Bird
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!
Well I guess I have to spill the beans. This is not a common birdeven if we see one every now and then.
Jättehavsörn]Haliaeetus pelagicus
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.
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
That looks more recognisable, how about a Guillemot Uria aalge?
Guillemot Uria aalge, sillgrissla in Swedish
Well done !
A Monday bird !
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?
