Hallo,

near lake Schollener See
http://www.birdforum.net/thedirectory/showproduct.php?product=790

birds like picture 3 and 4. I suppose culew ?
The other 2 pictures I have no idea, looks a little bit like a woodpecker.
I saw it on open meadow near river Havel, 200 m away from trees.
It runs on the meadow into hight gras.

Best regards
Dieter

Hi Dieter,
Curlew is correct;

but for the other bird it would be good if you could give a description of colors and size and behaviour if you can...

Size

Size I would say 25 - 30 cm.
Backside black and stomage mixed of black with lots of white patterns.

Best regards
Dieter

The first picture is weird because the bird is hiding behind the grass, but the shape shown in the second picture and the description of the colours show it's a Starling (Sturnus vulgaris). The juveniles moulting into adult plumage can be somewhat puzzling.

Agreed, putting both description and photos together, that can only be a starling
