    Eagle over Kolka Latvia 16th May

    Small bill and fingers, long legs, double comma, all perfect for LSE

    Kestrel, Lesser or Common French Pyrenees

    I find CK aging really challenging, the barring of the tail of this male is not a second cal. year feature, older males can keep them for an unknown (?) time. 2nd cy should be moulting right now. So agree with adult Common male

    Red-footed Falcon , aging

    They are both second cal year birds with moulted central tail feathers (longer) and brownish upperparts. 2nd cy males often have an orange breast patch and this one has also many grey male feathers. The other is a female with all orange underparts

    Epping Forest…not so much an ID, but certainly a first for me.

    Yes, sixth finger will disappear once inner primaries reach final length Still an interesting picture

    They build a rather messy nest going up to the roof

    Who is closing the entrance of the nest box ? Denmark

    They do breed in nestboxes

    ID if possible Central France

    First step in editing pictures should always be cropping everything around the bird away, especially empty sky.

    Hobby alarm call?

    Sounds good for Hobby to me

    Raptor ID, Ukraine

    I don't see an Osprey here. Large eagle with long wings and creamy body (maybe even upper breast darker) looks good for immature Eastern Imperial to me

    Harrier, Corsica

    Transitional harriers in 2 calendar year are real pitfalls. Part of the head plumage is already moulted or bleached by the African sun so ID features in Monty and Pallid are diluted. Pro Pallid features are extreme collar (but not joining at throat maybe due to moult?). Same is true for dark...

    Harrier, but Hen or Pallid?

    Mu thoughts too, everything fine for Pallid but that hand is really broad. So second calendar female Pallid maybe with some Hen genes

    Brabant Netherlands - Buzzard or Sparrowhawk?

    Such nicely barred Common Buzzards are full adults

    African Marsh Harrier - Botswana

    It's an adult: yellow eye no chocolate plumage

    Peregrine falcons sex and age? UK 21/04

    First is adult: barring underneath wit a few spots on upper breast Second is juvenile: barred flanks and barred breast The feet of the first one do not look particularly large, so adult male imo Would't like to sex the other one

    Peregrine?

    Looks Hobby to me: very large white cheeks, reddish cast

    Hi beijingbabbler Many are misindetified Steppe Buzzards, you can send it directly to Neil Baker, so this nicely documented record will be in the Tanzanian files. Email address by PM

    Pallid or montagu harrier? in Kilimanjaro Tanzania

    Bkeached juveniles are sometimes very difficult, white around eye and primary pattern make me think Monty
  20. tconzemi

    "modestus" Great White Egret? N Italy 1 apr 2024

    Take away the 'maybe (?)´ and you gave the answer.

    (Lesser) kestrel? Kotor, Montenegro - today

    I agree with Butty, unidentifiable but jizz (tail length, pointed wings) and blackish wing tips quite good for Lesser. Keep visiting that spot for better pictures

    Honey buzzard? - Kotor, Montenegro

    I agree with Alexander, Common Buzzard due to light bar in coverts, barring, breast band, jizz. Head looks small maybe due to artefacts

    What age is this White tailed eagle? Norway

    Thanks, there seems more moult waves in the right wing, but maybe just play of shadows
