    Hello all,

    I was out taking a few photos( mostly of our pets ) of animals, when I heard a very weird bird call, I looked up and saw this, It was really high up and this is a crop from my camera at 420mm zoom.

    It's some form of sea bird, But I couldn't figure out what it is, anybody know?

    And here's two other pics.

    This is a raven?( not certain... )

    And a blackbird

    Think the first one might be a Peewit or maybe a Green Plover ;)

    Which are both alternative names for Lapwing.

    Sorry Dave, was being a bit simple-minded there.....

    Took me a while to get your drift!
