Appreciate any ID help on these 5 small birds captured on camera at/near sand dunes in Lancashire (St Annes), two days ago. Thanks in advance.

Hi Anna

I reckon you've got a male Linnet, followed by a Pipit (probably Meadow as they tend to be most common), another Meadow Pipit (you can just make out the unfeasibly long hind claws if you zoom in, then two Stonechats, probably female/juvenile... but I'm not 100% convinced the first one isn't a male!

Wait for other opinions though, as I am quite often not right....which isn't the same as "wrong", it's just less accurate than "right" 

And well spotted and snapped 

Linnet male
Meadow Pipit - don't think it's a Lark - can't see a crest
Meadow Pipit - look at that incredibly long hind claw
Stone Chat
Stone Chat female

Oh.My.Word! I must be learning stuff!! :o)

Many thanks, this was so useful - all new birds for me (never seen before), and the long claws on the third photo particularly fascinating - I hadn't noticed.
Kind regards
Anna
