No, sorry but this is more like a hawk
Red-Tailed Hawk. - Buteo jamaicensis ?
No, sorry but it is not what I was looking for.gif "Smile")
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
Well done Rolf !
Well done Rolf
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
OK, there are a few which look similar, but going by the grey stomach, it may perhaps be a Pine Grosbeak - Pinicola enucleator?
