    golcrest for me (or firecrest! wish I could see the tertials properly)

    Field work ... hard work!

    no, with the longest tertials looking like primaries. I just really liked the bar on the coverts and decided I wanted it to belong to a ST, wing formula says sky of course! or actually, why not a ST with worn tertials, they are horrifically!

    Black woodpecker, the flying duster, even more limp-wristed than me!

    broad billed for me too, spent enought ime last year sketching one, pretty sure I know what his bum end looks like by now.

    I think I see a white-backed woodpecker, but don't know if that's reasonable as a suggestion.

    I'll try starling. Your curlew photo may be of use in the ID thread where a whimbrel (IMO) is being identified as a ruff!
  11. nickderry

    Field work ... hard work!

    I'll say a ruff.

    Field work ... hard work!

    No, never been. One day! Here in this part of France this is the hardest to see (after the three-toed, of which there are about 10 pairs in the country) Don't see them all that often.

    now the caffeine has come and gone, non hybrid Picus canus for me too - just had trouble with the rump looking like part of the wing. No excuses, especially as I painted one of these with his head up the same this week!

    hybrid grey-headed woodpecker x siskin x hawfinch. I'll come back when the coffee has had its effect. :-)

    I think that's the bird! Underwing matches perfectly.
  17. nickderry

    Field work ... hard work!

    if the underwing is as dark as it looks, goldeneye does seem the closest.

    I'll try curlew, but I really am just guessing.

    and grey plover for me too please.

    never thought of spotted flycatcher! lol
  21. nickderry

    Field work ... hard work!

    I suppose a juvenile stonechat is as good as any guess.
  22. nickderry

    Field work ... hard work!

    I'm just going to say that the legs aren't really as dark as they look and say song thrush.
  23. nickderry

    Field work ... hard work!

    really hard. I'm thinking some sort of pipit, but that tail seems to be too plain, other thoughts are out as the legs look very dark. I'll try water pipit then.
  24. nickderry

    Field work ... hard work!

    not an easy one, I'll try with crested lark.
