#4 A tern?

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Cheers,

Hello Jose,

any more pictures? No offence you know, but apart from the first one, which is a Northern Wheatear for me, too, they are difficult for me. And I get the feeling, more pictures could well change this.

But you know, I like quiz modus:
I agree with you, second is a Northern Wheatear, too (but I get the feeling, that its a long time I saw my last Black-eared Wheateears. And it might well be an easy one for others. Thanks! )
Third seems a Spotted/Mediterranean Flycatcher to me, with the yellowish cast a result of reflection from foliage
Last one is a Little Tern just by first gut feeling=and the same feeling after looking at the pictures again some time later

I hope for more pictures and comments. Thanks!

Thank you very much, Alexander! Great feedback.

Unfortunately these days I'm traveling with a pocket camera with a very limited zoom, so this is the closer I can get to the birds without them flying away.

I'm attaching 2 more (poor) pics of the 2nd bird.

As for the flycatcher, that's the best photo I have, but I think you are right about being a Spotted Flycatcher. I saw several in the area. This photo somehow made me think it could be something else.

Cheers!
