Heads and tails

Here is another go at a little `quiz`. I think that I have made it slightly easier than the last one, but then again, when you know the answers it is easy!

Below are 5 photos of different birds, some of their tails and some of their heads or part of their head! Can you  guess what species they are?

As I have said, I think this is a bit easier, but I will give some clues.

One of these birds feeds as its name suggests and is also known as a Sea Dotterel. Another has an alternative name in Scotland of a Heather Bleater. The third is known as a Reed Sparrow. The fourth is one of my favourite little migrants and is becoming a pretty rare sight nowadays, you have to go to church to see one!? The final one is a very brightly coloured bird that is also a migrant and has an alternative of Barley Bird.

All of these birds are seen in the U.K. and have appeared in my blog. I will put the answers up after Christmas.

May I take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year and to thank you all for your continued support for my humble little blog!
