The correct answer is .... red-rumped swallow!
Next pic is not a crop.It is real life. You try to shoot a photo and ... the bird flies away!

I'll start off with a wild guess - Song thrush?

Hi Ody and Nick,

How about juvenile Blackbird.....if you have them in Greece??!

 

[birderbf]

Hmmmm I see webbed feet. So I'll take wild web-footed guess. Little Grebe?

Well spotted birderbf!! You're more observant than me for certain, I though it was a tail!

Sue.

A tail? Uh oh... hadn't thought about that. they are feet, right?

Looks like feet to me.....now!

Welcome back Sue!
There are wings ,feet and a tail!
Habitat not a lake!

pygmy cormorant

House sparrow or Dunnock flying away after a bath in a puddle?

 

[nickderry]

pygmy cormorant without a tail seems a good guess, those feet look odd. That, or a chicken giving birth to a snapping turtle (feet first).

Well done Nick Patel!
You got the habitat!
Which species?

 

[Sue Wright]

Welcome back Sue!

Thank you Ody.

Could it be a Reed Bunting?

 

[birderbf]

I still think those are feet, so maybe Horned Grebe in a birdbath?

 

[ody]

Still not found!
It was in a small puddle in my neighborhood.

 

[Sue Wright]

Corn Bunting?

 

[Dimitris]

Hmmm...Common Starling??

 

[ody]

Dimitris, you are right!

One from these three guys was!
So, these days I am not home.
New pics I'll be able to post on Friday evening.
