My word these are hard..
1. Looks strangely like a Great Grey Shrike, though that all goes a bit pear-shaped when you see it bigger 2. No idea, I can't even work out what I am looking at! 3. Looks like a Ficedula Flycatcher 4. Looks good for Semi P...unless its a WR Sand in active primary moult 5. Montagus Harrier Not confident about any |
