Can't see clearly if this is accipiter again on same antenna. It quickly disappeared and I saw crow gliding towards looking big, pointing one of the park trees, then turning awkwardly again gliding wings wide ~W which left me unsure what there was on picture.

Description

Fieldfare, blackbird, and redwing. EDIT: It's possible this is starling imitation instead - four days later heard one imitating redwing and also blackbird (I noticed the starling after hearing longer section of redwing voice) - if so, there has been several such shorter imitations lately.

Description

Unless this is tern, this is black-headed gull possibly imitating tern, keeping wings narrow flying slowly against the wind E. There was black/dark head coloring but I'm unsure how much.

This flight occurred same time or slightly before swan had collided at the bridge nearby and after listening tree sparrow imitating tern voice for longer period.
