    Collins bird guide 3rd edition in an App

    Does anyone use the Android app in their family library? If so, have you updated and managed to update any of the other phones without paying for each phone/account to upgrade? Surely the upgrade should be available to use in the family library in the same way as the App is?

    Rough-legged buzzard? - Northwest Turkey

    As Smiths has said, this is a very pale Long-legged Buzzard. Rough-legged Buzzard would never show those buffy and rufescent tones.

    Dodging Diver at Backwater Reservoir

    And, if you want to add likelihood into the equation, Red-throated is generally the rarer of the two inland.

    Dodging Diver at Backwater Reservoir

    Kind of think that's the point though... hard to confirm either way from the images provided. I wouldn't like to say with any certainty.

    Dodging Diver at Backwater Reservoir

    I'm not sure the photos are good enough to be 100% sure? The dark back, contrasting with paler nape, and a lot of white on the flanks, gives some Black-throated Diver vibes to me, but never easy from less than adequate photos, and may be a Red-throated.

    Trinidad - Shore Bird Identification

    Is it actually a 1cy bird though, or a moulting adult?

    Storm Petrel

    99.9% chance it is Elliot's. Certainly looks like one, and they're abundant there. But without seeng the belly, it's tough to be categoric.

    Shetland UK - Redpoll ID

    Looks more like a Common (Mealy) to me, slightly overexposed, but would prefer to see more photos.

    Fawn-colored Lark

    I don't think they occur there...

    historical id- pipit spurn yorkshire 13/08/95

    Richard's is just about unheard of in August. Perhaps a Tree Pipit?
