8 Trumpeter Swan?

4 Tenerife Goldcrest / Kinglet?

Tenerife Goldcrest

This tiny bird is endemic to the islands of Tenerife and La Gomera, inhabiting both the laurel and pine forests, but preferring the latter. There are other goldcrests populating the other Canary Islands of La Palma and El Hierro, but these are now recognised as a distinct sub-species, the Western Canary Islands Goldcrest.

Their Latin name, regulus, means "little king" and, because of this, the bird may also be known as a Kinglet.

Thanks for the help just numbers 1,2 & 6 needed now.
