Any chance these are manipulated? That gull's tail looks peculiarly pure white and surely that is a Red Kite tail on a pratincole??? Also the eye looks remarkably big and gormless on the "warbler" and up close even has a very strange shape and lifeless quality to it. Actually I've no idea!!!

Well two people have got two right.
Not saying which two people or which two birds, that would be too easy!

By the way why am I never quick enough off the mark to get my answers in early...so if i`m right I look really clever and if i`m wrong i don`t look like a complete idiot?

All three species have been named correctly now by at least one person.
