hi All

Any ideas re ID of the birds in the photos below, taken while travelling in Albania (near Barat) a few years ago,

Thanks in advance.

The first two should be Rock Nuthatch, #3 and #4 Common Buzzard.

I presume you meant Berat- a place I've stayed many times?

@Sangahyando Could be Sitta neumayer also possible? I saw Sitta neumayer this year near Berat! I can not differentiate them with this pictures! @mounteden11 where exactly did you take the pictures? The habitat could be important!
Best regards.

Sitta neumayer = Rock Nuthatch. The pale underside without rufous tones, combined with the rather long bill should exclude European Nuthatch in the OP's pictures.
