The second picture is for fun only !!!

Looks like a Black-backed Hat-catcher in the second shot
First one looks like a Peregrine.Falco perigrinus
Sorry Rolf, it won´t help to say it twice if it is wrong lol
LOL, don't know how that happened.
Well, I was so amazed by the double post so I did not (really) checked Your answer
It was a correct one, the first one, sorry.
Pilgrimsfalk Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus
A new bird, a new name please
I reckon it's a Great Northern Diver, Gavia immer.
Yes Rolf, it is
Svartnäbbad islom (Gavia immer)
Gosh, it is Monday again, the last one for this year
Well, I'm giving it a go - Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)
You need to tell me it's a good guess at least, Crister!
It is a good guess for sure
but not what I wanted
Gimme a new guess
I'll go for Long-eared Owl - Asio otus.
Hornuggla Long-eared Owl Asio otus
Very close Catherine
Time for a new bird
Well, I've a feeling that this is going to be 'very close' again, Crister, but I have to suggest
Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) -
if, for no other reason, that allows Rolf to show how much more clever he is again!
Yes My Lady it is very close
Think You better do an evening prayer before next "close" guess
Many thanks, o' kind sir!
I wondered if 'evening prayer' might have been a clue, but I cannot think how.....
- so I'll just have to try 'Little Kestrel' - Falco naumanni next....
(Now, to say that is right would make a lady really happy, Crister.
However, if you say it is not, then Rolf will need to look up his book again.....)
Happy New Year !
Well, I don´t think that Rolf have to look into any boooks for this bird, and yes - it was a clue !
Well I think I know this one, but it's a difficult one as the picture is quite light.
Ah, so 'vesper' was the 'evening prayer' I guess....
Never mind - never DID understand religion either....
Aftonfalk Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus
Well done
So let me ask You all - what is the name of this bird ???
It's a Lapland Bunting - Calcarius lapponicus.
Lappsparv Lapland Longspur Calcarius lapponicus
Yes, we have some of them up north, seldom around my house. Very good looking bird
Will have to make it up your way one summer Chris, you have a few birds that we never see.
Yes Rolf, think we can sort that out...
A new bird - good looking I say !
Harris Hawk - Parabuteo unicinctus?
- though it may have too much white on its rump for that bird....
Think it's a Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetos, I believe the only Eagle resident in the UK.
Kungsörn / Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos )
The Swedish name is King Eagle !
Well spotted
OK Here is another "killer"
So, please
Name both birds
Looks like a White-tailed Eagle Chris, Haliaeetus albicilla, but aside from looking like a Gull, no idea what the other bird is.
Well, the "killer is OK in Swdish it is a Havsörn (sea eagle) and the other one is a Gull. Wonder if we coukd find out what kind of Gull ??
I wait for Cathrine!
You are SUCH a gentleman, Crister!
Now I DID know that the 'killer' was a White Tailed Sea Eagle, but I wasn't sure re. the Gull - and I thought you wanted both answers...., so.. now I'm just guessing that the intended dinner is a poor immature Great Black-backed Gull - Larus marinus ...
Now, please be still a gentleman and say I'm right!.gif "Big Grin")
Well, You have to wait for Monday as I fogot to post the right answer - it is still at work.
I am almost sure that it is a good answer (lol)
There is a story around this picture, the Eagle was scared away from a large number of crows - so it lost the dinner.
It was close so I spill the beans
Havsörn White-tailed Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla + Gråtrut Herring Gull Larus argentatus
Monday again ! Time for a new bird
You are SO kind, Crister, but I think possibly one dead Gull is very like another - especially if it's a young one....
Well, today's now..... it's a Crossbill - of a type - but that's a difficult angle to judge head and beak size........... so I'll try the ordinary one first - Loxia curvirostra
I'll go for Pine Grosbeak - Pinicola enucleator.
Next time, try a few more (before Rolf enter the scene)
