Sweden - Flying-unkown
Hi,
Additional photo from my brother, he thought they were flying like Swallows so I had to see the photos, not sure what they are and just curious as what they might be or if anyone can work it out? Thanks, John

Thought Jackdaw at first as well, but if you zoom in you can see pale upperwingcoverts. I think they're Stock Doves.

I don't think it's reliable to go on any apparent markings in this photo, but I think there are more birds in the photo that look Stock Dove shaped than Jackdaw shaped, the the ones that look more Jackdaw shaped seem to be those on the upstroke with the wings slightly more pushed forward and spread. I'd go with Stock Dove too if I had to put a name to them (thank God views in life aren't like this though eh?

I don't see any reliable colors on these, even when zoomed in quite a bit.

Jackdaws for me, as well, the three birds in the bottom right hand corner are 'classic' Jackdaw shape. The tails are proportionally too long for Stock Doves.
