 This is a female of the Desert Wheatear. They live in the desert. I think it is a brave bird sitting on that bush with all the needles. :)

A beautiful redstart I wish we had in Sweden. But they don´t come that far north. They live in the northern part of Africa.

Well, I would not stake my reputation on the ID on this one. Waders are difficult and I did not see it up close. We have it on this days obs list so I guess it is right.

Walking alone in the sand, a Ringed Plover in winter plumage. I did not recognice it until I realized it was winter plumage. We never see it like this where I live.
