Given the location it's probably Armenian Gull, part of the Herring Gull complex but now given specific status, at least you can tick it, Pallas's Gull is not that common even there!

Clearly a male -the tail is blue/grey.

The bird is an Eagle Owl and looks like the Indian race to me often called 'Bengal Eagle Owl' by falconers.

Nice shot deffo an adult bird this one, juvs still have down this time of year, not a pretty as this one.

Nothing to do with me, dont know the guy, just discovered it on Flickr, be interested to hear what people think.:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38337571@N02/7310721860/in/photostream/

Top notch Stevie, both cracking mate.

Den, not a Gadwall, a pale looking female Pochard ;) Regards Dave.

Steve, all great. Well done. Soon qualify to change your slogan to 'Dances with Twitchers'. Cheers Dave.

Chaps, Superficially like a Lesser - sorry but it is clearly a JUV (juvenile) Great Spotted Woodpecker. They too have the red crown not present in the adults. The clincher is the size of the bill, way too hefty for a Lesser Pecker also no streaks on the breast. So Great Spot it is! Cheers Dave.

mmmmm.......I'll get you trained up in the end matey. Its harder with the over 40's ;) Belter feller. Well done.

you fluked them buggers then!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D ..........brilliant Steve.....well done. Perfect. :clap:

Great Carlo - from the Pena Falcon in Monfrague? I MUST go there again this year!

Yes lovely shot.................of a Peregrine!

Its a male Common Whitethroat. Regards,

All, thought this may be of interest, I dont know if the British Birds magazine that this appears in has been published yet however I have lifted it off another 'bird' orientated photographic website. Appologies for those who have seen it already, however as the purpose of the code of practice...
