Guess which bird from my terrible photo? (1 Viewer)

[BenjiS]

Hello,
again: location please!
If taken in Europe, its a Buzzard type. But which one?
I see nothink wrong for the default Common Buzzard. Its no Honey Buzzard, and it doesnt look like a Rough legged at first. But after brighten the image, I realized that bad artefacts changes important features.
If an confident ID is needed I hope for others to jump in ( Tom and others) or more pictures

I did say, Hemel Hempstead
And I do know what it is, this is a quiz, the aim is to guess (if you hadn't realized)

The OP has said he’s in Hempstead, England.

I see no issue in it being a common buzzard.

Sorry I missed the location. Thank you!

 

[BenjiS]

Yes it is a common buzzard
Try this one, you have to find it to ID it

Magpie.

Hello,
knowing the location, its a Magpie. Unique bird, but .. too late agree with WP

 

[BenjiS]

Yup, that's all for now, thanks for playing!

After enlarging it I think I saw a Magpie. Nicely spotted and captured.

Hello David,

a Bluethroat?
With thanks to smiths for posting pictures of a bird with an artefact tail-band, purely the result of light sitation and angle:

African Reed/Icterine Warbler - Namibia

Is this warbler identifiable? I took the photo today at Avis Dam in Windhoek, Namibia. The bird was alone and flitting between branches on a small, dead tree partially submerged in the lake.

Hello David,

a Bluethroat?

Hello Alexander,

yes it's a Bluethroat. Here is the "better" photo of it flying away.



Sadly when it finally cam out the blackberry bushes and sat for a moment in the evening sun I was distracted and missed the opportunity for a good photo
