    Well, there's the Red Throated Diver - Gavia stellata (in winter plumage again) - though I cannot see the same similarity with the beak there....

    Now, I know there must be many divers Divers in the world (so to speak), but no more that I know...

    Well, it wasn't listed where I was looking...

    Good ID, Rolf! (Though, as Cris inferred, I may just have helped a teensy bit by trying all the others first!)

    OK, well I'm pretty sure it's a Skua, so I'll try the Arctic Skua, Stercorarius parasiticus.

    What a great Latin name!!

    I had to go and look it up (I know little about Skuas), and it is apparently 'Kleptoparasitic' - i.e. they steal food, nest material or other resources from their own species or from another. Just the sort of kid who stands in the corner of the playground because no-one will play with him

    Greenshank - Tringa nebularia ?

    Looks like a Sandpiper with a long beak, so I'll go for Marsh Sandpiper - Tringa stagnatilis.

    Well, it looks a bit greyer than pics on the Web, but could it be a Nightingale - Luscinia megarhynchos?

    (At least it has a nicer species name than the Skua and the Sandpiper!)

    Saw it, but was having a think, as it could be the Thrush Nightingale, given the slightly mottled breast.

    Now, if that's what it is, Rolf, you are either a real 'smarty pants' or this is a fix!

    A THRUSH Nightingale? Are you sure....?

    Not really, which is why I hadn't posted , but as they don't tend to get many Nightingales in Sweden, but they do get Thrush Nightingales, it is perhaps more likely to be the latter.

    I'm going to try Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita, so Rolf can try another bird!

    (I'm on IE9, Crister. It's very good, and smilies are working fine with me... Only, IE spell-check works differently on it.)

    Not sure Chris, would have put it as a Chiffchaff myself, these little birds don't have many hard and fast identifiers.

    I'll try Willow Warbler then - Phylloscopus trochilus.

    I think it's actually a rare Swedish Bow-legged Chiffchaff, Rolf!

    (Have you noticed how it was perching?)
