OK, only other bird I can think of with the white tail and dark tip is the Rough-legged Buzzard - Buteo lagopus.

It does look like a Buzzard. I though of the Pale phase but the photo doesn't give much away
sea eagle??
I think you are right there Rolf with the Rough Legged Buzzard
Yes, it is a Fjällvråk Rough-legged Buzzard Buteo lagopus
It is a bird usually seen up in the mountains in the Norther parts of Sweden.
Well done Rolf
Here is a Friday special.gif "Smile")
Looks to be a Water Pipit - Anthus spinoletta.
I agree with that.
Even I have to agree
Vattenpiplärka Water Pipit Anthus spinoletta
While we wait for the Spring, let us have a look at this bird
Golden eye - Bucephala clangula
Looks like one, but the colour seems to go much farther down the neck than anything I've seen... not to say that it's not a variant, just not seen a picture of it. Mind you, I can't think of anything else - I do wish birds would all look exactly the same, it makes ID a real beggar to do
Yes I thought that too
Well I reckon it's a Scaup, Aythya marila.
Yes could be but I couldn't see the white ring on it's beak
Yes You ae probably right Rolf. Only the female has a white ringed face
Yes I think so too
Bergand Greater Scaup Aythya marila
Good finding again.
More water loving birds
