I wondered if anyone could identify these 14. All taken on Severnside/ UK so don't expect too many rarities...

Ausmar,

good attempt 6 correct so far.


Nickderry,

an impressive 12 correct.


I won't say which ones yet as it will spoil it for the others

 

[ausmar]

noticed now that no.4 has a a black tail tip and its wing isnt white so prob Nick is correct with Barwit.
7 Obviously Merlin

Wasn't sure of barwit, and I'm still not! I felt like curlew sandpiper tbh! Wondering if no 5 isn't a long-billed dowitcher aswell.

Nick

you were correct thinking number 4 was Curlew Sandpiper and I wish number 5 had been Long-billed Dowitcher but was only a Spotted Redshank that is still only just about annual on the Severnside patch.
