Who knows their bits?
A bit genius? Cropped to tax, not too tricky (bar one perhaps) ...no clues as to where at this stage

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,

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! All photos taken in the last couple of weeks, 1. Crane 2. Black-tailed Godwit 3. White-winged Black Tern 4. White Stork

And the final round, just three photos, all taken on my land or local patch. I reckon there is an easy one in this lot, plus a moderate one and one a bit trickier ...but then of course I already know the answer!
