    Willow warbler / chiffchaff - Cotswolds, Gloucestershire - Feb

    A February Willow Warbler would be pretty unlikely (Chiffchaff from the images in any case)

    Help with warbler ID in El Rocio, Spain

    I was in Lisbon last week and parks and gardens were full of overwintering/passage Common Chiffchaffs with no sign/sound of Iberian.

    Brabant Netherlands, Eurasian Blackbird female and Fieldfare adult...?

    Right on both counts

    Brabant, Netherlands, Songthrush ....or ?

    This is a Song Thrush - posture, markings and colour are all right for T. philomelos

    Bird of prey over my garden in Sevenoaks, Kent UK

    … or the parakeet

    3 birds in Rouen, France

    That was my reaction too

    Geese central Scotland

    I agree with Alexander. These are Pink-footed Geese. The Taiga Bean Geese in Central Scotland are very faithful to the Slammanan plateau and rarely seen elsewhere.

    Merlin? Tehran. IR

    Surely Kestel has a longer tail than Merlin?

    Seabird Fife today

    Fourth for Eider. While taking Butty’s point about judging size, this looks too bulky for Long-tailed Duck.

    unidentified passerine near Sofia, Bulgaria

    Red legs are confusing but tail sounds like Redstart/Black Redstart - difficult to see from this image

    Old Hunstanton - Norfolk - April 2023

    Late onto this but I agree with Alexander on the gull and duck (Common Gull and Gadwall) and Butty on the waders - I can’t see these as Godwits, plumage and stature look much better for Curlew.

    Two garden visitors Kent UK

    I should probably have said ‘and it has updated occasionally’

    And it updates

    I’m in the House Sparrow camp on this but can’t be sure from these images/clips. It’s worth restating the difficulty of judging size, especially from remote images - three times the size of a House Sparrow gives you a bird the size of a Carrion Crow.

    Oenanthe hispanica (?) (Central Spain)

    Would a 2cy Wheatear be distinguishable from an adult?
