    Yes, saw one last year and was in awe of its size, particularly the wingspan. Also known as the flying barn door.

    Happy to split the prize Catherine

    That's obviously a Mistle Thrush, Crister!

    Turdus viscivorus.... I hope it is anyway!

    Crister, they're never too easy!!!

    It allows me to experience that good feeling to think I may not be wrong - again!

    That looks like a rare one, perhaps a Dusky Thrush from Siberia - Turdus naumanni?

    What about a Northern Waterthrush - Parkesia noveboracensis?
    I've just been looking at a great pic of one on this page!
    Photo of the Year: 2011
    Of course, it's just a guess!

    I see now - to my horror that I mixed up all the thrush that I have.

    and that Rolf´s answer was correct - sorry for that Rolf (and Catherine still looking and searching)

    So it was really !

    Bruntrast Dusky ThrushTurdus eunomus I was fooled by the Siberian and the last name in Latin but I guess that we both mean the same bird.

    OK ?

    At first thought it might have been a Kite, but now think it looks like one of the Buzzard family, how about Rough-legged Buzzard - Buteo lagopus

    I'll go for Long-legged Buzzard - Buteo rufinus

    (If only as I've found the Swedish name for that is Örnvråk - which looks mighty like the name started below the pic!)

    It's a Redpoll and from the pale colouring, I would guess an Arctic one - Carduelis hornemanni

    - And I'm quite happy at being 'Dr Watson' rather than 'Sherlock' - he's boring maybe, but not as weird as the other guy!

    Well it's definitely an Owl.


    Not one we get in the UK, would be nice though. I think it's a Great Grey Owl, Strix bebulosa.

    I´ll be happy to support some "Swedish" information - if You guys keep it up You will soon be fluently speaking the language of the Vikings

    Mindre sångsvan Tundra Swan Cygnus columbianus

    In English this name (mindre) has nothing to do with the English or Latin name !!

    So, what did Sherlock do ? Find a bird, checked it´s Swedish name and said Aha, I found it(Archimedes)

    Anyway Rolf, good work and nice fiding !

    BTW Rolf is a common Swedish name - You got some Viking blood ?
