I have spend the day in a new spot (of cause only for me) and have seen some new birds.
I wonder if these are spoonbills:
R5 + RF 100-500L + 1.4TC
@ 420mm, 1/4000, f/8, iso 800

They are Spoonbills. At a slight angle like this you can see the "spoon".

They are Spoonbills.

Thank You, Alan!

And upscaled shot of a distant bird.
IMO a Peregine falcon? Never seen one in real life.

Looks like an Eurasian Hobby (Falko subbuteo) to me: that reddish area around the legs (missing on Peregrine), bold, longitudinal lines on the breast and belly (only juveniles have something like that in Peregrine), the form of the black whisker behind of the bill (much broader and in different form in Peregrine). And the whitish "eyebrow" is well visible on the photo, Peregrine doesn't have such a white line above the eye.
Baumfalke in German.

Puffins always look like they are completely AI created.....

Cool shots Noreaster
