ID some birds

whyulittle · 2010-12-23 22:40:30

Trying to ID some birds using Birdwatch Ireland. I am going with.... Treecreeper? Meadow Pipit? Redshank? Redshank, Lapwing & Moorhen? This one I cannot ID. Slightly larger versions are available by clicking.

Correct on all, the last bird is Redwing and the gulls are winter plumage black headed gulls

Ah-ha, the one bird I didn't check on the thrushes page. Thanks Feargal.

Also spotted a Heron and Cormorant/Shag, but were too far out to get any shot.

I've been feeding the birds the last few days and watching away but spotted 3 buckos this morning, never saw them before... slightly smaller than a thrush, not as stocky, black with tiny golden spots on wings and back, orange longer beak than a thrush or blackbird. Orangish legs. They came and left in a gang of 3...not being intimidated by the blackbird trying to chase them off. Couldn't get a photo. Any ideas?
