Followed along some Robins Saturday:

Also, some kind of spotted black bird:



And almost had a gull going by:

Ok that's a Robin where you are Cash! Great to see birds from around the world Our Robin looks completely different and a little more fragile

From today





This one I still need to indentify, looks like a juvenile of some kind maybe? was thinking Robin again, but the eye and plummage look a little off

Certainly is different. Kind of even looks smaller by quite a bit, but it's hard to say in pictures obviously.

Yeah I thought our one was at least and inch shorter! just going by the dandelions in your pic for comaprison really(hope they are called that there as well)

Hard to say Warren, juvenile starling perhaps?

EDIT: A little younger than in the picture below?

This is a red-winged blackbird. Male.

Wish I could help with the European ID's, but I'm not too familiar with Europe's offerings.

Don

indeed male red winged blackbird.

Red Winged Black Bird. Well that's simple. I really need to start researching these things at some point.

That looks like a good call, Andy! I need to brush up on my bird i.d, especially juveniles.

A couple I liked from this morning. Had no intentions on shooting birds so I didn't have my 'bird lens'.

New to the forum, and spend way to much money on camera stuff too. Here is one of my favorites...

Outstanding. ^^

Today's Gulls:

Oooooooh, what a difference the picture up loader makes, next pics I'll link through Imgur as usual! Trust me, pics are sharper than that
