Name that bird..

[Oblickta]

I normally have the camera set to at least 3 million megapixels but I had to email the pics so kept resolution to a min.

I reckon the bird would be the size of a wood pidgeon so if it's an osprey it would have to be very young. To the right of the shed is a field with long grass and the bird looks to be flying upwards so it could be a spooked corncrake

Here's one of a kestrel taken on our coast during a low water recce. Anyone recognize the mark? It's North of the Tyne

Name that bird, easy Willy the woodcock, Freddy the fieldfare, or Clive the corncrake, but oissie the osprey, naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa chance

Clive the Corncrake sounds good enough for me, thanks Alan. That's another one of lifes little mysterys solved

Looks suspiciously like a hummingbird to me (the non-legged type).

Is that kestrel looking for peelers ?????
