Bird ID - Bavaria / Germany (1 Viewer)

[manwa47]

Hi dear birders,

I've just joined the forum and I have a few photos from 2021 for which I need your help. All were taken in Southern Bavaria, Germany (close to Augsburg).

1. Curlew or whimbrel? (08/2021)





2. Kestrel? Or Hobby? (05/2021)



3. ?? (05/2021)




4. The two in the front with the reddish feeet. (04/2021)



5. Probably just Common Buzzard, I was only surprised by the long tail. (05/2021)



Thank you very much for helping and excuse the bad quality of the photos!

Greetings from Germany,

Manuel

Whimbrel
Peregrine

feel like Ruffs
Honey Buzzard

whimbrel on shape slimmer and more dainty looking than curlew

hobby appears to be moulting primaries but still has that long winged look

collared dove

ruff classic shape of feeding stance looks hunched back

honey buzzard has a look of honey buzzard i wouldnt want to call it

1. whimbrel
2. either hobby or peregrine-I find this the most difficult picture
3. wood pigeon as tail pattern is wrong for collared dove and there is a purpleish hue to the breast
4. Ruff
5. honey buzzard with this wing pattern

Thank you so much for your help!

agree with Joern, and I'm quite sure it's a peregrine.

 

[Rotherbirder]

Agree with all but 3; I'm getting a Woodpigeon 'vibe'.
