1. Sparrowhawk
2. Common Nightingale 3. I'm not sure about this one (for example, I'm not able to rule out a Yellow-legged Gull).

in that case it's most probably an armenian gull. eye looks dark and p5 mark is very bold (the last "old" primary) - so, this is a good case for armenian.

I also thought about armenian gull since I noticed the dark eye , but I hesitated since there is a white dot also on p9. But returned back to the guide , it stated that sometimes armenian gulls may show a small mirror on p9 also. |
