Unknown bird

Any clues?

Is it <2?

Bonno said, "We're 1, but we're not the same". (Even if Cash sang it better.)
So it's two different birds.

Elspeth?

All the best -

My guess is meadow pipit.

Great Auk

Great Crested Grebe. In choppy waters.

In reply to Richard G B:

That's a much better answer. I was trying to think of mythical birds but none really fitted; I never considered extinct ones.

Damn - thought I'd identified this bird but alas all I got was this photo below...

Snake Eagle.

Joking apart (come on Elspeth, put us out of our misery), we had an interesting experience recently with an extremely blurred photo; a resident expert (a youngster) aged the bird (based on our "blob"), but that's (sometimes) what you get when you're dealing with people who've been following a species closely for decades.

But it's still a Snake Eagle.

Have a nice evening rspbailey -
