Unknown Birds - Pyrenees (South France) (1 Viewer)

Hi there,

So of my trip to the Pyrenees the 5 birds I couldn't work out are attached.

DSCN3932/7 - was with a mate hopping about on the summit of Canigou (2,800m). Wonderful bird to watch in a wonderful (windy!) place.

DSCN4032 - on low ground by a lake. It didn't stay around long to watch.

DSCN4074/7 - think these were the same bird. Again lake side.

Any IDs on the above would be great.

Thanks!

Great - thanks Valéry. I have never heard of the Alpine Accentor so that's wonderful. It was a lovely bird to watch!
Surprised that the others were the commonest of the common and I didn't recognise. Ho hum - I have a long way to go :)
Thanks again.
