I'm inclined to understand that, in such an image, a clear white trailing edge, on a very blurred wing is not a given for a bad capture at slow shutter speed?The evidence? Rump and tail pattern have been captured, colour and distribution of markings/patternation. And that "finch-like pale-bill" would fit too! Also occurence of suspected birds in area of Ukraine at time of capture?So, which is prime suspect? Don't even need to say it... :cat:</blockquote>
