Don't come a cropper

[Ghostly Vision]

This has been seen by a few members offline, but has proven so difficult I am opening it up to the masses.

Five photos, all taken in the UK, cropped to death. You just have to name the five species.

As I don't visit as often as I used to, please be patient with me in answering your replies!! Also note I have my PM's switched off, too, so there can be no cheating....

The Ghostly One

[Jurij Hanžel]

4 Siskin??

Agree with Jurij on 4.

[Jurij Hanžel]

1 LT duck????

[Jurij Hanžel]

1 Recurvirostra avosetta out for a swim
Could be, but I stick with my guess.

[Nutcracker]

2: Prunella modularis

Mark

Not quite sure where number 2 came from, but having looked at it more closely and at one of the other suggestions agree that it is of course a Dunnock.
Also agree with Andrew's number 3 + 5.

Mark

[dbradnum]

A slightly bold (some may say foolish?) selection...

1 Avocet
2 Dunnock
3 Purple Gallinule
4 Siskin
5 Red-necked Phalarope

[Andrew]

Wish I could change my crake to Dunnock which makes sense but that would be an "I agree"!

[birdman]

Avocet
Egyptian Goose
dunno
Goldfinch
really dunno

well.... dunno really... I'll never get the hang of this game!:-C

[Nutcracker]

Changing my mind on #5 (fortunately no-one else has suggested this yet!)

Grey Phalarope

[lou salomon]

Changing my mind on #5 (fortunately no-one else has suggested this yet!)

Grey Phalarope
probably it's wrong...

1 - if that is an avoset i'll show my ... somewhere. let's see: 2nd cy Ross Gull with an eaten tail tip
2 - dunnock ad
3 - purple gallinule ad
4 - siskin ad fem
5 - sanderling moulting into 1st winter

[CJW]

1 - Little Gull
2 - Dunnock
3 - Purple Gallinule
4 - Greenfinch
5 - Grey Phalarope

[James Lowther]

avocet,
dunnock,
takahe (suppressed),
siskin,
snow bunting

[Joern Lehmhus]

little gull,
dunnock,
purple gallinule,
greenfinch,
grey phalarope

would be my guesswork

[CJW]

little gull,
dunnock,
purple gallinule,
greenfinch,
grey phalarope

would be my guesswork
Oi! That's what I said!

[Joern Lehmhus]

Oh, yes-didn´t check what others said, just looked at the pics-so you beat me to it, Chris.

If it´s correct the coconut is yours!

[Stuart]

3. gotta be glossy ibis in Devon 2004,in the grass around the back by the ditch??

[Highway Man]

Think Harry is right on the LBBG.

I stick with Snipe, Grey Phal and Northern Oriole... 5. you know it might just be the Black Lark!

No doubt in my kind Jane, I even recognised the twig!!! Though I've changed my mind on number 2 - pretty certain that's a Bittern now.

Mark

[Jurij Hanžel]

1 Northern oriole
2 Bittern
3 Cormorant
4 Grey phalarope
5 Black lark??

[lou salomon]

unfortunately jurij's combination is exactly i'd go for. just to be different (and pedantic):

1. baltimore (=northern) oriole
2. euras. bittern
3. shag immat.
4. grey phalarope winter
5. black lark male winter

[Ghostly Vision]

Hello everyone

Sorry not to have re-visited; Boradband seems not to have been working for four days, and I am sitting here watching the status bar crawling across the bottom of my screen every time I re-load a page.....

So far, one has not been identified correctly by anyone.

Scores are (with their relevant post no - if two no's, score is a combination of the answers or changes in those posts)
Mick C - 0/5 (46)
Jurij - 4/5 (62)
Mark N R 4/5 (49+61)
Dbradnum 2/5 (51)
Allen 3/5 (52)
Mini colster 0/5 (54)
Jane T 3/5 (55+60)
Andrew sub300 0/5 (56)
Edenwatcher 4/5 (59) excellent first guess
Harry H 3/5 (58)
Anrew W 2/5 (59)
Lou S 4/5 (63)

That should tell everyone that the only incorrectly answered species is no.3, which I knew would be tricky. One of you who has scored 4/5 has got the answer very very close though!!!!

DBradnum - glad you got no.2 correct first time, since it was photographed at LEE VALLEY!!!

Will be back tomorrow to torment you all some more

Sean

[Jane Turner]

Will try again in another post

Thanks for all the guesses - you are geniuses

GV

[Joern Lehmhus]

I don´t know, something seems to be wrong here -since after the crash of BF I often get totally different pics from others - sometimes when I clic on one the bigger pic is right -but sometimes even that isn´t correct....

For example here in pic 3 I definitely get no whinchat, but something like a bunting or towhee or whatever (I don´t know the species) . Can anyone help?

Thanks, Jörn

Hi Jórn,

Have been having that problem myself intermittently. Sometimes when I have posted pics into a thread, the thumbnail looks completely different - ut hen you click it, the correct one comes up!! Something else I have noticed is that when a wrong pic comes up, it is usually one that I have looked at on BF at one point or another.

Need mods help here I think - Andy Bright?

GV

[Highway Man]

Totally missed out on this one, which is a shame cos' I got them all right.
Can we have some more soon Sean?

[timmyjones]

[lou salomon]

1. great grey shrike
2. bullfinch male
3. common whitethroat fem
4. goldfinch
5. barwit

2. bullfinch
3. whitethroat
4. squacco heron
5. curlew

[Ghostly Vision]

Haha

Any pic that divides people between a goose and a Great grey shrike must be pretty tricky!!!! And likewise Great bustard, Goldfinch, squacco, snow bunting.....

Well, Lou hasn't got everyone beaten this time.

I didn't say they were all taken in the UK (but they were)

All species have been named correctly.

Scores, in some cases based on more than one guess,

Nuttie Peter 3
Yorkshire Mark 4 on his first guess. Magnificent. Proves you're not from Derbys
Eden Rob 3
Andrew W 3
TimmyJ 2
Lou 4
HH 3
Mick Cowming 3
<300 Andrew 3
Jórn 1 (how do I put an omlaut on the o? And how do you spell omlaut?)

All to play for - there's 250g of black pepper sauce up for stake this time (get it?)

GV

[Joern Lehmhus]

GV, You could also write Joern-german speaking people would pronounce that similar to Jörn (or you look under symbols if you don't have the ö on your Keyboard)

...I spell it Umlaut.

Next Try
1. Great grey shrike
2.Bullfinch
3. House Sparrow
4.Goldfinch
5.Barwit

[Ghostly Vision]

Thanks Joern - you are the winner of the Black pepper sauce......

Well done all on what was a very hard round

GV

Determined to remind me I am <300 aren't you! Grrrr! Just you wait till I get that 300th bird! Suppose you will then call me <400? LOL.

Give us another round of tricky croppers.

[Andrew Whitehouse]

Excellent quiz Sean and I look forward to the next round.

It's maybe not as good as Mornington Crescent though ;)

[Joern Lehmhus]

cool-thanx-that was luck, as this was a tough one

[Ghostly Vision]

Determined to remind me I am <300 aren't you! Grrrr! Just you wait till I get that 300th bird! Suppose you will then call me <400? LOL.

Give us another round of tricky croppers.

Go on then, croppers coming later today.

Hey Andrew - change your subtitle then, or your name!!! Have to differentiate between you and Andrew W! Maybe you'll allow me to use "Andrew s300", a more subtle version?

Sean

sub 500 club!! (only just)

[Andrew]

GV.

Don't mind the <300 differentiation. It gees me up in this year's objective of breakign into the <400 "club".

Looking forward to the next selection.

Hawfinch

Revised and final guess for me,

[Ghostly Vision]

38 minutes Mark. You can have a half-empty box of Quaker Oats, a pair of rubber gloves and some used suppositories to go with your prize.

Harry, I know you wouldn't have cheated, so you can have a banana skin, plus a CD-R that doesn't work but can be used as a coaster for hot coffee.

If I do any more of these rounds, all the crap out of my house will be gone.

Well Done Mark and Harry - answer pics coming in a bit.

Sorry everyone, severe probs with my own PC have meant I can't post the answer pics. They were nice ones too. Will put them on when my pc has been to the hospital (or the tip at this rate..)

Did you try to shove my Quaker Oats through the modem as I'm sure that wouldn't do it any good.

Mark

[Ghostly Vision]

Mark

The box does say they can be uploaded provided one had a fast connection. But I fear it was Lou's coconut that did it.

And don't remind me - it's still kn@ckered

GV

[lou salomon]

well, just a few days ago i got a fast modem. but how could my slow connection harm your PC??? or do you mean my "coconut" in post 34? outgoing it says it was cosher.

[Ghostly Vision]

No, Lou, when I tried to send your prize (the coconut) through my modem, it must have got stuck in the wires!!! Next time I will send by international courier.......

[lou salomon]

maybe you should try coconut flakes next time, mix them with the quaker oats for mark and shove the mixage through your modem for both of us - that mixage is tasty!

[Ghostly Vision]

Oh, here are the answer pics from all that time ago!!

GV

[Jurij Hanžel]

Can we expect any new trick shots?

Yes, but I need to increase my database of pictures! (i.e. go out birding with my camera again!!)

Watch this space
