Denmark, corvids and waders (1 Viewer)

[testoduro]

Last week on an island. My guesses:

1, 2 (two differentt birds) I would say Ravens, particularly clear the first one, but I want to rule out juvenile Rooks.
3. Probably unidentifiable. No more pics, I'm afraid. The third one from the left shows a reddish body. Maybe, Red Knots or Sanderlings? Or just one more ´no way to know´?
Thank you!

Definitely not juvenile rooks, but i don't like to judge raven vs. carrion crow from photos like this. The flying birds look like ruffs to me.

Flying birds are ruff

Hello,

a really serious question you know: is the bill of the first bird still within variation for a Carrion/Hooded Crow?

Yes, like all here I am in the confident ID camp too, but if forced I would opt for a Raven with some confidence

And thanks to Butty again! I looked a Carion and Hooded Crows again during the last days and the brownish feathers seems quite worn/faded for a juvenile Carrion/Hoded Crow at this time of the year (even so strong that I thoughts of an ill state came into my mind), but does this support Raven ID? I am not so sure.= I hope for more comments!

The second bird is much harder for me.

I would agree with a juvenile Raven for 1, but I'm inclined more to Carrion Crow for 2.

I would say i am not sure for the first picture but the second one in the flowering heather is a clear carrion crow for me on bill size alone .
I am inclined to say carrion crow also for the first, due to the head looking rather small because of very abraded / worn feathers. if we take this into account I think the bill fits better for carrion crow than for raven , but I am not 100% sure.
As far as I remember , carion crows also breed in southern Jutland...
