Google Street View birding (1 Viewer)

[Nutcracker]

While we're in lockdown, how about seeing how many birds can be found on Google Street View :t:

Rules: the bird must be captured incidentally by a street view camera, not by any other camera designed to get photos of birds.

Here's some to start off:

Kittiwake

Couldn't give you the links but I saw Giant Coot and Black Vulture in my Peru preparations the other year, then ticked the former from the exact same spot as in the image

Herring Gull and (I'm pretty sure) Sand Martin thus far in addition to plenty of Mute Swan and B-h Gull thus far on a virtual walk round Pennington Marshes

I fear I can't see them - looks like you've caught the camera pointing straght downward. Can you check the link?


Best is to pan & zoom in on the bird, and then with the bird in the centre of the pic, copy the URL from the browser's URL box, rather than google's own link.

This is a better one!

It seems to keep defaulting to the sky! You are looking for the telegraph pole!
