Birds of Europe

I meant to post this like a year ago, but oh well. Here, without much in the way of explanation, are the pictures of birds I saw in Europe when I went to Italy and Switzerland last year. We saw a lot more than what's here, but didn't get pictures of them all. Not all the IDs are 100% either, but I'm pretty sure on most of them. Shag

Great-Crested Grebe

Barnacle Goose

Mute Swan (headless)

Mute Swan and Goslings

Female Red-Crested Pochard

Male Pochard
