Ornitology at Carrick a Rede

Dear Friends
if you have to buy a camera, don't hesitate to buy one provided with a long zoom. A long zoom normally at long focal lengths slightly degrades the quality of the images because of the sometime inaccurate movement and relative positioning of the lenses and the blurring introduced by inefficient hand-shake correction. However, the advantage is that at said longer focal lengths you can capture images without perturbing your subject. Better if the camera can do all rapidly and automatically by itself, so you can capture your images just when desired. All this I have found already integrated on my Nikon Coolpix 9500 that unexpectedly has provided me with the opportunity of dealing with Ornithology at Carrick a Rede in Northern Ireland:

The birds of the Carrick Island you see in the images were not visible at naked eyes, so I am happy to have the possibility to show them to you. I would be grateful to you if you can help me in identify these birds.
Salutations
Giancarlo
P.S.: I thank our Alexei for the identification of he birds in this post - see blow
