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!
Dear John,
ReplyDeleteI will wait till you solve this riddle - the last one I think is a green finch, but maybe not --
I want to thank you for your interesting posts and your beautiful, beautiful photographs, which I admire very much.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!
Britta
I have a hard enough time recognising birds when I can see all of them. lol
ReplyDeleteWould there be a Redwing and a Greenfinch in there somewhere?
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Merry Christmas John,look forward to seeing more outstanding Digiscoping from you in 2012.

Well, I look forward to reading your answers. There are a couple that I feel I ought to know (even though I have the excuse that they're British birds), but not a one can I name!
ReplyDeleteMay your New Year be bright!
I see the Snipe, Reed Bunting, and Chaffinch.
