Hello Debbie,

pass on the Swift as there are more species to be considered and I am not sure if a white rump would be visible.

2 is a Mistle Thrush. There are many threads here about speration from most similar Song Thrush. Your bird has round spots on the belly in a better shape for a Mistle Thrush. more uniform, pale cream-yellow underparts are spot on .

3 and 4 are worn adult Corn Buntings. Please note extensiv yellow on large bill in the first and almost entirely yellow bill on the second bird. A good, but not infailable feature that adds to Corn Bunting jizz.
