Few birds I need help with

Hi again. I have few birds I'm not sure about and I need your help.

Unidentified bird of prey perched under very high bridge.

What I think is a green woodpecker

Black-headed gull?

No idea what is this bird. Size of a house sparrow, maybe a bit bigger

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Sowulo
The first I think s a peregrine (but could be a kestrel), Green Woodpecker and Black Headed Gull are correct... some of our more experienced members will be able to tell you how old the gull is too!) and I'm not sure on the last one, there are a lot of "odd" juvenile plumages about at the moment, but possibly a Chaffinch?

Young Bullfinches are REALLY odd - first one I saw was abroad and I thought I'd found something fantastic- til it called

Well done Robbo.
