Uknown birds, temple of delphi, greece
Hi,
I was on a trip to the temple of delphi in greece with a group (unfortunately w/o any other birders) and saw three birds that I was unsure of the id's on and was hoping that someone here might be able to help with. The first bird I am fairly sure is a northern wheatear. the second I have no idea what it was as I only managed to snap a quick picture of it. it was going from conifer to conifer and I was only able to get two very dark and blurry pictures. I was hoping someone might have some idea what it is based on body shape and location/time of year (unknown bird delphi 1a and 1b). The third bird i think is a common cuckoo, but I am not sure (unknown bird delphi 2a and b). Any help would be appreciated as I have never been to this part of the world before and am encountering birds that I am totally unfamiliar with. Thanks

Thanks for all the help. I think the second one was probably goldfinch as the light vs. dark patterning matched and i saw a goldfinch at another site today that was making the same sound and in the same type of habitat.
