It is a Lapland Bunting as Phil says. A 1st-winter?

My house, my rules.

I thought the third species was smaller - like a hirundine

So Bee-eater Turtle Dpve and Red-rumped Swallow

For you Phil - see if you can locate the Broad-bill in here - a real game of where's wally

Ok. Let's put this to bed.
The smaller ones are BeeEaters. The middle sized one is Turtle Dove.
Now that leaves the biggest one.
Fingers on buzzers...
Its second name rhymes with Wigeon.

(I'll sort out the points when this business is closed...)
