1)Wood Warbler
2)White-tailed Eagle(??)
3)Red-breasted Flycatcher(think I can make out the correct tail pattern for that species)
4)Parrot Crossbill
5)Blue-winged Teal
6)Buff-breasted Sandpiper
7)Spoonbill
8)Lapland Bunting
9)Chough
10)The Moon!
The bird looks vaguely like a harrier,maybe Montagu's?Probably WAY out with this one!

I mostly agree with Harry, though not with 3. I haven't got a better idea yet...front end looks more like a Pied Fly....
The rest I had the same first guess, including the Montis
I'm not certain about two either... doesn't look heavy enough to me....and the tail is longish so lets take a stab at Osprey

Oh and 6 I have to admit thinking is that a Ruff or a Buff-breast!

Well you've got 8 right between you
As usual BOP flight shots are good for slowing you down a bit!

Number 2 is the one not in the UK
I'll hold tough with the rest of my answers(even the eagle,just for the craic!),but,on closer scrutiny,the 'pale base to the outer tail feathers' in No.3 is actually due to the undertail coverts,and that face pattern is more like one of the 'black and white' flycatchers,so Pied for me as well!

I´d also mostly agree with Harry,
except on the following:
3. Pied flycatcher
8. Little Bunting ?
10. What about a common nightjar

Well, then Bat Hawk is out of question for 10 , I suppose
I´d also go for hen harrier here.

I shouldn't mind a Nighthawk just down the road!
2 was the second most numerous BOP that I saw in the Lake Garda area
