Close, but no cigar AdeyAdey Baker said:So all of Brian's except 2 and 10, then?

James Lowther said:forget that cap, look at the bib - it's tiny!!!! Also i think the back is too brown, but then again i've only seen turkish birds. I have a strong feeling this bird and number two are definitely wrong from brian's original 7/10 list. Also, i think the bunting could well be a yellowhammer as tom says, as it seems to have a rusty rump!
So my latest effort (no comments on the fairness of having 3 goes please!!) is
1. Willow Warbler
2. Hen Harrier
3. Syrian Woodpecker
4. Honey Buzzard
5. Imperial Eagle
6. Yellowhammer **
7. Masked Shrike
8. Red-breasted Flycatcher
9. Crested Lark
10. Marsh Tit **
Impressive spread wingtips! cf. http://www.worldbirder.com/photonew/xpages/photo.asp?PhotoID=836CJW said:The answers then:
2. Montagu's Harrier
CJW said:10. Willow Tit (don't argue!)
Nr. 2 is a sparrowhawk, isn't it? It has six fingers in the wingtips, while Montagu's has only four. It also has too short and broad wings and the barring in the remiges is rather different. A goshawk would have more rounded corners to the tail, a longer neck and a wider tail base.
10. Willow Tit (don't argue!)
i'm counting 5 fingers (i.e. without the outermost p) in pic 2 ergo hen harrier. never levant sprawk. also, wings look too broad for montys. why monty's then, chris?
oops, i realize this thread is ancient...
