But in this case is the following bird also a Willow Warbler?

Yes it is, and a nice picture of one too. I guess this one is an adult as it is white, rather than yeloow, underneath.

I'm not sure number 2 is a little tern. I'd say common, but I may be wrong.

Hi,
your doing great there Namq, your IDs are right, and your photographs as well. And...an incredible good working ground such as your own native country!
Great to be a Polish birder!

Well, I have to agree

But the Netherlands isn't bad either. And you have many great birders there. I know that because I see them often in Poland

I think that the colour of the legs suggests Redshank.

Here is another photo of this bird, a little bit post-processed.

Thanks! I've totally missed this time.
In the first photo I've seen this bird near male Whinchat and I just thought it is female.

5. In first row: A bird so yellow can't be a Willow Warbler? I would suggest Icterine Warbler, Hippolais icterina.

Its am immature Willow Warbler, which can be quite lemony yellow. Upperparts would be greener in an Icterine and legs would be greyer.

Edit: Lesser Spotted Woodpecker in same bunch is an immature female.

I think our friend from the other half of the world is teaching us some care.
The bill is quiet heavy on this one, its head forms together with its neck more a bull-like appearance than the small headed phyloscopus and I dont find too much of a fluffy plumage on the upperparts there whilst the colour and the structure of the feathers is uniform and tight.
The colour of the legs? maybe the light conditions? the colour of the upperparts is a bit enlighted as well.
I go for the two bird theory once again with Namqs job.

The tail is notched, which Icterine would not have. Icterine also has pale lores and a shorter supercilium.

gerdwichers8 · Jul 9, 2006

Your point on the tail notch is favoured by me, though I found some icterine with a noch as well (one foto on birdfoto.fi), but your right, the notch does belong to the tail itself and not to a different folding of feathers

Corn Bunting Emberiza calandra ?

Herring Gull Larus argentatus - all of these?
