I wouldn't have classed these as easy, they are all birds I rarely see in Scotland

Top image: It's one of two species and would have preferred a clearer image as they are very similar but will go with Marsh Tit (with Chaffinch behind)
Bottom left: Water Pipit
Bottom right: Marsh Harrier

cheers, John
