I think it looks like the Grasshopper Warbler too.

Gräshoppsångare Common Grasshopper Warbler Locustella naevi
Well done again
So, how about this bird ?
Hard to find is it not ?
Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus arundinaceus
No, a friend to the family but not a Reed.gif "Smile")
How about a Garden Warbler - Sylvia Borin?
Well, think that I must change my answer to Chockyas this bird is a special kind of reed.
So I rest my case and print the right answer.
Busksångare Blyth´s Reed Warbler Acrocephalus dumetorum
Must be a very close relative
I hope that this bird is not a member in a Big family
Could it be a Golden Oriole (f)? - Oriolus oriolus - Crister?
Well done Catherine
Sommargylling Eurasian Golden Oriole Oriolus oriolus
It is a summer bird in Swedish
Wow! Thanks, Crister!.gif "Big Grin")
I've only ever seen Golden Orioles once - one summer in France, near the German border.
Here is a new fresh question
Could it be a ................Nightingale - Luscinia megarhynchos ?
No, not this one
Spotted flycatsher - Muscicapa striata ?
Sorry, have to say no again
You are very cruel, Crister!
I've checked Cuckoos, Pipits, Wheatears, Larks.....
Can we please have a clue if no-one (i.e. not even Rolf) has guessed by tomorrow?
Think I have it.
Female Barred Warbler - Sylvia nisoria
Wow, looks to me like you've got it, Rolf - looks pretty close to me.
Taken me two days of pouring through photos.
Ah, so you took up the challenge, Rolf!
It seems to have a thicker neck and beak than the Warblers I know - and it was difficult to gauge the size of the bird in that pic.
Well done (in advance of Crister's confirmation of course
Yes I have to confirm - this is a Höksångare Barred Warbler Sylvia nisoria
In Swedish Hawksinger
Good to hear that it took some time and brain to find this one. Hope the next will be even harder
Think this is easier, time will tell
Boreal Owl - Aegolius funereus
also known as
Tengmalm's Owl, Aegolius funereus
No, it is not
Orange beak, black eyes and long tail, looks like a Ural Owl - Strix uralensis.
Yes it does, doesn´t it ?
Slaguggla Ural Owl Strix uralensis
Back to Monday again and a new bird for You all !
Well, wednesday today and still not a guess ?
Or is it the summer ?
It looks like a Finch of sorts...
Orange-fronted Yellow Finch? - Sicalis columbiana
Well, you DID want us to try!
(I think this is maybe one for Rolf again!)
Been looking at it, at first thought a finch, but then went off the idea, then revisited. Due to the chunkiness of the beak, possibly a Pine Grossbeak female - Pinicola enucleator?
Think I'd have toagree with Rolf there
Took You some time
Tallbit Pine Grosbeak Pinicola enucleator
It´s good that we have our own Sherlock here
This next one will be easier I am sure
Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea
(Does it have a broken wing? It seems to be dragging its left one...)
Thinks, 'Maybe Sherlock is having a day off now?'
Close Catherine
but not close enough
Difficult these birds, so many variations, I'd go for a Citrine Wagtail - Motacilla citreola, non-breeding male.
Yes it is
Citronärla Citrine Wagtail Motacilla citreola
Many look alike as Rolf said.
Good Monday
Looks like a Wheatear - Oenanthe oenanthe.
