3 birds in Rouen, France (1 Viewer)

Yes, they all give a strong impression of Linnets, not anything else, same size and colour, the far bird is Linnet as mentioned. They are a sociable flocking bird.

Thank you all .. a lot learnt ..
these 3 birds were also part of my June Normandy-Flanders tour and again Merlin is having trouble
I'm thinking common buzzard and yellow wagtail..
The third one I have no idea..
Thanks again

similar coloured Penduline Tit nearly lacks white in the tail and is very rare in C and NE France

makes sense Alexander, thank you

In last batch:
1-2. Presumably common buzzard.
3-4. Grey wagtail.
The rest. Fledgling black redstart. Again, note rufous in tail.

Not sure what that means. If Mr Dan says he's seen something I don't see a point in casting doubt on it.

Dear Members and Bird watchers!

Do not now if this thread is appropriate for my question, but as Merlin was discussed.

I used Merlin in USA and Canada, spot on every time, both picture and sound. And as I am a total novice I double checked with books to avoid making a tit out of myself.

But, I have used Merlin in Europe and Asia and NOT ONE SINGLE time have the Merlin manage to ID the birds. Anyone else have had this problem?

Kind Regards and Happy Birding!

Funnily enough, Merlin was also being discussed on this other thread this week, don't know if you'd seen it -

UK- Wiltshire- Fovant- January- Eurasian or Short-toed Treecreeper

Hello 👋🏻 This is my first post so any tips gladly received. This little one is in my garden (January 2024). I’ve tried to work out which one it is but can’t be certain. I have more photos and video. Help please?

Going from that thread, maybe you have the wrong pack/geographical setting??
