While we wait for UK birders to awake?

Nothing is right...

Keep going with Owl Incidence in England, and the points are yours...;)

ps The Owl is guessable now. So points to the first to get it right!

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.

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

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

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?

Don't be confused Jonny! There are only 2 left!

It is a Med Gull! But extra point for age....(First right gets the point...)
