1)Looks like a Kite.I'll try Red Kite
2)Crane (I thought of Great Egret but toes look long...Wicked claws too...*ouch*)
3)I think terns have webbed legs and have forked tails(most do).This one dosen't seem to do.I'll say white Feral Pigeon.
4)I'll agree with Blackstart and say Stork
So far,
photo no.1 - no one has correctly named
photo no.2 - out of the two guesses, one is correct
photo no.3 - no one has correctly named
photo no.4 - congratulations to Blackstart, Dimitris and Jurek - it is a White Stork. Attached is the full size photo, taken this week.
Ha, got it one, out birding I was! Light and sunny til well past 10 p.m. these days and it sure makes up for the many months of snow and minus 25! Few Phalaropes, calling Corncrakes and etc this weekend,
So, for the answers ...
Not all that's big in the wing is a raptor - photo one was the one that caught most people out, so congratulations to Blackstart and Reader in identifying this one, snapped on my land, it is one of the Cranes breeding on my land!
