Feathers for ID UK

Hi,

I have a couple of feathers for ID. I have some thoughts as to what they could be, from left:
A female Pheasant? A bird of prey, carrion Crow -what kind of feather?-, Wood Pigeon, and again a Pheasant.
Also if you could name the type of feather that would be great!
Thanks

Gideon

See >> http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=46134
But apart from that, and assuming they're from western Europe...
1. Pheasant - tail
2. Buzzard? - inner primary
3. Crow/rook? (kinda big?) - secondary
4. Woodpigeon - inner primary
5. Woodpigeon - tail
6. Pheasant - belly
Oh! You had all them already!

agree on all but 2. which is a Kestrel, and that's why 3 looks that large compared to it

I'm not 100% by 5 being a Woodpigeon. The terminal band looks quite large, and I can't see any hint of the paler sub-terminal band (usually apparent on the upper as well as lower). Perhaps Stock Dove? Unless we can flip it over and see?

That's not Woodpigeon, as it should have a pale band below the black tip. I think probably Stock Dove, but can't rule out feral pigeon.

Stock Dove for me.
