Romania

Not new but a nice view - White Stork

Eagle, possibly Lesser Spotted? - there is a second unidentified bird harassing it? at start of sequence.

Another unidentified raptor

And another one...
https://goo.gl/maps/sqQf9MN5rXREAmVC9

Same bird as above (top left) and a second Buzzard-like? bird

This one? I'd say White Wagtail, tho' it does look a bit dark, blackish?
https://www.google.com/maps/@32.0447...7i13312!8i6656

Think it is actually just the harsh sunlight/camera making it look darker. Found another White Wagtail (black bib/white belly visible) perched by side of the road a little further along, so probably safe enough with White.

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

What about Imperial for the first of the Romanian raptors?

I'd be happy with Imperial Eagle; #182
The bird below it I'm pretty sure is a Sparrowhawk; unless anyone objects
The last two I'd go for both Common Buzzard (already got, of course)

 

[Stonefaction]

Don't think (provisional #184) is a Sparrowhawk. Doesn't give a Sparrowhawk feel in any of the photos. Looks to have darker patches out at wingtips - initial thought (different view from one posted) was Pallid Harrier but none of the other views backed that up.
EDIT: Oops, thought you meant next bird listed - not the harassing bird in pic 1.

The higher of the last 2 doesn't look like a Common Buzzard either. Too long winged and if there was additional white inboard of the white on show it should also be visible. Also may, or may not, have a pale tail.

Think White Wagtail was already on list.

 

[Stonefaction]

The 'Sparrowhawk' - different view.... looks too long winged (a bit Buzzard-like but appears too long winged - almost Kite like wings)

https://goo.gl/maps/ukKtt3KmKe6jxxG27

EDIT: Maybe Black Kite or even Honey Buzzard?

Thanks! Yep, White Wag already on, should've checked that!! And Sprawk removed.

Mixed flock of Black-headed and Mediterranean Gulls - the latter #183 (and also one LBBG); Ostend, Belgium. I'll see if I can find some better Meds, though.

Tern there too.....but wouldn't like to put a name to it.

I'd expect Common from the location, but can't prove it.


Anyone want to check through a couple hundred Herring Gulls for anything less common? 3 Nieuwpoort, Belgium.

[Stonefaction]

Common Tern was my first thought, based on the shade of grey on the wings and relative size....but as you say, can't prove it.

 

[Nutcracker]

Already added to the mammals annexe, but not yet specifically given a location for any Homo sapiens specimens; here's a couple from Nieuwpoort in Belgium that I'd say can be considered wild rather than captive stock 3

Long-legged Buzzard: long wings and pale tail.

This one? I'd say White Wagtail, tho' it does look a bit dark, blackish?
https://www.google.com/maps/@32.044...4!1sackiayU0-OO4vI8R6Va-hw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Blackstart? Redstart? Unidentifable for me.

African Buffalo from #224 is not added to the list.

Long-legged Buzzard: long wings and pale tail.

If it is, it is extralimital; the species isn't mapped as breeding north of the Danube. Or has it expanded its range significantly in recent years?

OK! Doesn't matter then

African Buffalo from #224 is not added to the list.

Looks good for Laughing to me - too slim and dark for Collared. #184 :t:

A few parts of Romania; not the central area where the pic is from! Granted it isn't impossible, but I think we'd need a higher degree of detail to claim a bird that is at best scarce in the region.
