Help with a few please - Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve, Liverpool, UK today (1 Viewer)

I think...

1. Buzzard - the markings on the head and breast seem (to me) to look mostly like a Buzzard.
2. At first I thought these guys were Teal because of the size, and then I thought maybe Tufted ducks, but I can't be sure. Sorry about the photos and difference in colour balance - blame the point and shoot ha ha
3. Male Stonechat.
4. Male and female Stonechat - again, the colour balance may affect the photo.
5. It looks like a Crow to me, but the lighter wings make me question myself. Maybe the light has affected the wing colouring - it was flying in the direction of the sunset.

cheers :)

Agree with all! Carrion Crows are particularly susceptible to this type of plumage aberration
