    swift, Southern Spain

    sorry for asking (I'm not an expert on swifts) but what do pointy wing tips signify ?

    swift, Southern Spain

    i saw this dead swift in June 2015 somewhere in Almeria, Andalucia somehow, i thought its colour was rather pale for a common swift, or is this just a post mortem event ?

    common or black redstart?, Castro Verde, Portugal

    i know that black redstarts are quite common across Portugal, but this one struck me as being different and might just be a common redstart pictures taken in Castro Verde, Portugal about 2 weeks ago any ideas ?

    ?little ringed plover, Santo André Lagoon, Portugal

    young one ? markings + bill colour not typical for common ringed plover ?

    ?little ringed plover, Santo André Lagoon, Portugal

    unless i'm badly mistaken, the attached is a little ringed plover - or is this just wishful thinking ? pictures taken in the second week of september at Santo André Lagoon near Santiago do Cacem, Portugal

    ?corn bunting, Portugal

    the attached are shots of one from a group of little brown jobs feeding in the fields near the Tagus river between Escaroupim and Salvaterra in the beginning of september possibly the pictures are to indistinct to allow a proper ID (at least they do for me), but i thought that just possibly they...

    ?pied flycatcher, Portugal

    not too familiar with flycatchers, but thought the attached might be pied flycatchers (at least i can't match them with any other songbird from Portugal) pictures taken at Paredes da Vitoria, west of Leiria at the beginning of september

    young spotless starling ? Portugal

    oops - that's me put in my (lowly) place then thanks for pointing me in the right direction

    young spotless starling ? Portugal

    not totally sure about this bird, but to me it looks like a young starling, and given the time of the year (end of August) and location (Vila Real in Portugal) I would think spotless starling to be more likely than common starling - am I close or way off ?

    ?willow warbler, Forest Farm, Cardiff

    oh OK, my bad for discarding that ID in advance then - thanks for the assistance

    ?willow warbler, Forest Farm, Cardiff

    just glimpsed this bird in the reed beds of Forest Farm on the outskirts of Cardiff apart from the fact that it must be some type of warbler, and does not appear to be a reed warbler, i must admit that i'm a bit at a loss what type of warbler this might be - my best guess being a willow warbler...
