61 - not this.
63 - nope.
67 - this has got one more toe in that leg.
68 - correct.

 

[lou salomon]

61 - turdus viscivorus
63 - phylloscopus sibilatrix (do they sing at night in finnland???), acr. palustris doesn't occure?
67 - ciconia nigra?

 

[very boring banned member]

Wrong.
61: a bit same looks, but smaller.
63: we have all kinds of Phylloscopus & Acrocephalus here. Phyllos are sunlight singers, Acros prefer night, but this passerine doesn't belong any of these genuses.
67: this species has white mirror on right wing.

 

[lou salomon]

61 - turdus philomelos
63 - luscinia luscinia (regulus regulus feels close to Phyllos but at midnight and "hyitti?)
67 - cepphus grylle

61- smaller! A common European plant belongs to this very same genus!
63- Luscinias have somewhat similarish tail.
67- no webfeet.

 

[lou salomon]

ok, then 61 is clear: Prunella modularis

 

[lou salomon]

63 drives me mad! Review: it occures in Finnland; it starts singing at midnight in Finnl. June; it is close to collybita whatever that means; it has a Luscinia similarish tail; and it's not a Phyllo or Acrocephalus or Locustella (naevia) or Luscinia. grrmmbl. I tried Phoenicurus ph. already. Bluethroat is a Luscinia. If the similarity in tails refers to the rounded edge I'd look for a Locustella. Neither Cisticola nor Cettia breed in Finnland as far as I know. Hence it must be either Locustella fluviatilis or Sylvia borin but borin doesn't sing at night therefore I try next with [/I]fluviatilis. and then my wisdom is over.

OK Salomon, points from 61 & 63 to You (the latter one being Ph. phoenicurus, which You earlier suggested for 61). One left: 67 (liyky).
