| | | Re: More bird ID help 1. Common Whitethroat
2. Recently fledged Blackbird (note pale edges to wing coverts giving slight wingbar impression - these will disappear in it's first moult)
3. I get the impression it's a Wren rather than a tit - shape wise and length of tail. Bill looks a little long and pointy too.

| | | Re: More bird ID help I go along with Whitethroat and baby Blackbird but not sure about the last. It's shaped like a Wren but the tail's wrong - not sure what it is.

Jerry | The wingtips would reach to the end of the undertail coverts on a robin. Wings are very short and so is the tail. |

| | | Re: More bird ID help Well, Picidae, I bow to your superior knowledge of a Robin's physiology, but it still looks like a Robin to me. Forshortened by the view from below and behind, but still a Robin.
Could be wrong, though
Edit: perhaps I should say it "feels" like a robin - the impression I get is of a bird with it's head slightly back singing.
