Silly me, can't give suggestions after answers given.

1 can't be a blackbird, rear end shown, tail pointing to 9 o'clock, wings to 10 o'clock, white underside.

 

[phil baber]

Yes, the answer Eagle Owl has been given and the photo revealed.

That leaves 3, but none are right so far...

James said,

"1 can't be a blackbird, rear end shown, tail pointing to 9 o'clock, wings to 10 o'clock, white underside."

Good observation here.

2 is a small bird.
3 is not BH or Common Gull. Is it me, or is it getting warm in here?
