feathers for i.d. please

[2dogs2000]

Ok I have given you a break from my feather collection so now here are some more
Not too many for you I hope.



I thought wood pigeon for this one but I have never seen one with the black spot on it before





These two are rather old and tatty (brother-in-law finally let me have them).


Any help would be appreciated.

2nd one certainly looks like a Wood-Pigeon, or maybe a domestic/feral Pigeon?

3rd one on right looks like it could be a Kestrel perhaps? I'm only guessing these! If not then maybe a Pheasant?

4th looks like a wader of some sort possibly a Snipe.

1st one might be a Pigeon too.

1 = Buzzard
2 = Stock Dove (it's a greater covert, from where the short bars are on the wings)
3 = Red Kite
4 = interesting. They look like an owl but almost certainly not tawny. The one on the left looks like a Long-eared owl. Maybe the right too, although that one may be a Tawny. Are they British? 4b could be something exotic like Ural Owl.

You are sooooo clever. You really know your feathers.

I had my 1st stock dove in the garden in October so that fits.

No 4 -They may not be British as I have a feeling that my brother in law collected some at an owl sanctuary.
