    Raptor and shorebird. Hjälstaviken, Sweden

    A couple of confirmations please : 1. My tentative id is a juvenile Peregrine Falcon being mobbed by a barn swallow. Apart from the id, i thought this was unusual that a swallow mobs a raptor. Is this known behaviour? Also this individual seems to be ringed perhaps? 2. A juvenile Ruff perhaps?

    Taiga vs Red-breasted Flycatcher. Gir, India

    I know that there have been many discussions on this topic. Photos 1 and 2 are the same individual. A local expert was adamant that the 1 and 2 was the Taiga and the #3 is the RBF. I thought the reverse was true perhaps. Any opinions?
