Could I please invite comments on 2 pics from Lesbos in May last year.
The raptor I recorded as Lanner but have had a nagging doubt in view of the fact that the moustachial stripe seems rather indistinct and ends well short of the eye. The head also looked rather pale though this could have been a trick of the light. It was fairly distant and since it didn't move have no other id features to add. On the other hand I can't think what else it could be.
The pipit was perched when I noticed it and disappeared quickly after the photo so again I have no further notes
Sorry that both pics lack sharpness but confirmation of id will be appreciated
