Not very good on Geese, but I'll have a pop at Pink-footed Goose, Anser brachyrhynchus.

wrong color

Colour.... colour..., - Greylag? - Anser anser?
No, perhaps they all look-a-like in a distance
OK - so that's not the Anser!
Will check again later......
OK, how about lesser White-fronted Goose. Answer eruthropus?
Well, it is hard to get closer without getting it right, so my answer is Almost
Now we talk colour
So what about the Greater White-fronted Goose then - Anser albifrons?
She done it again !!
Bläsgås Greater White-fronted GooseAnser albifrons
Good work !
Well, Rolf's answer and that last clue of yours - rather than knowledge or luck - really helped me in a moment of desperation!
LOL, well it was a fifty fifty guess for me, obviously not my lucky day.
A Sunday test
Normally it has two legs
Looks like a juvenile, possibly Buff-bellied Pipit, Anthus rebescens?
Well, close I say but No
OK, guessing game begin, Tree Pipit Anthus trivialis.
Yes Rolf, I was worried about that (guessing game) but I did forgot to tell the answer early today.
I do it now
Ängspiplärka Meadow Pipit Anthus pratensis
They do look-a-like, many of them.
This is not a goose
I find that hard to Swallow cris.Originally Posted by dig deep

Hirondo rustica.
We are in a good mood today I see
Ladusvala Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica
Well done !
Here is a weekender
Female Grey-headed Woodpecker, Picus canus?
Sure is Rolf
Gråspett Grey-headed Woodpecker Picus canus
Nice bird.
Monday again !!
I'm going for Nutcracker - Nucifraga caryocatactes, although I have never seen one!
It looks such an amazing bird! More often seen in Sweden than in the UK I think, but still unusual in both places!
Well done !
Tjocknäbbad nötkråka Thick-billed Nutcracker Nucifraga caryocatactes caryocatactes
It´s the bird, not You that are thick
Well, that was fast so it is time for a new ?
Very difficult with these Warblers, I'll try at Willow Warbler - Phylloscopus trochilus.
So, just to be difficultI'm going to suggest Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita
Because it has dark legs and a very pale eye ring - and Rolf guessed 'the other one'!
Good work !
Sibirisk gransångare Siberian chiffchaff Phylloscopus collybita tristis
It´s a special one
Well done.
A very early Monday bird (off from work until Wed)
Lovely little bird, smallest in the British Isles, Goldcrest - Minis Goldus Bonsicus.
Yes, it is a very small bird - 8-10 grams only
Kungsfågel Goldcrest Regulus regulus
So, at last - it is Monday again !
well ?? Too dark ?
Sorry, looked after you'd posted, think it's a Crossbill, although the patterning would make it a 1st winter bird. Loxia curvirostra
Almost Rolf but not exact
It has a big bill for sure
Could it be a Pine Grosbeak- Pinicola enucleator?
I understand there is one in Shetland just now!
If it is in Shetland now then it can´t be this one
OK, I believe the single Two-barred Crossbill Loxia leucoptera has left Siberia for Sweden.
I am sure it has
Pic was too dark, hope this is better
