    I think that I have showed all the common birds now, so those that will be here now should be somewhat not that common

    Looks like a Little Gull and a Kittiwake to me - but I'm not an expert and don't know the Latin names...

    (Not much happening today, so thought I'd give it a go!)

    Nice to have You onboard

    Still, You entered this quest a little bit late, now we (that is me) have to ask for more not commond birds. I´ve done all the easy ones

    So, sorry this is not a Kittywake.

    Hi Crister - I am new to the site and am enjoying looking at your quiz pics - I think this bird is a male Red Footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus).

    Welcome to this section

    A good guess, close but not close enough

    The birds I post now are a "little" bit more seldome as I have asked about every bird there is in this thread.

    Anyway, it is a Falco

    This bird is mostly seen in South Africa but we do see them up here in Scandinavia. Might be a problem with their GPS
