1. Red-crested Pochard.
2. Adult Rough-legged Buzzard. Based on the map in the Collins guide it is a good record in Turkey.
3. Short-eared Owl.
4. Probably Common Buzzard.
 
I agree with CAU, I presume you have at least 1 new species for Hersek Golu with the Rough Legged Buzzard.A good record, as CAU says, & a very good days birding for your friend Serkan, I bet you wish you'd gone out with him!

ATB, Neil.
 
Thank u very much for the comments. I would love to join this great birding day. But i was at work. I hope to see them one day. By the way, the birds in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd pics are new species for Hersek Golu and our city, Yalova...
