I have no idea on their identity. Any help will be welcome.
These shots were taken yesterday morning, on the Trasimeno lake, Italy, with a Nikkor 500 ED f/4 P, and a 5D.
Thanks for looking.

I'm not really sure what the first shot is of, maybe some sort of European version of a Night-Heron, I can make out those red eyes and the bill shape looks right. The last ones are a Coot of some sort. Maybe people more familiar with birds in your area will chime in.

The last shots are a coot I was shooting some nesting here in the UK yesterday. I'll post them later.

Pretty nice coot series for a body that only shoots 3fps. :)
