(1) In The Hound of the Baskervilles, what unlikely water bird is described as breeding in the bogs on Dartmoor?
(2) In John Fowles' novel The Magus, what Sylvia warbler catches the eye of one of the main characters? (Clue: the novel is set on the Greek island of Spetses).
(3) What bird ID do Romeo and Juliet argue over?
(4) Who wrote this?
"Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry
Of sorrow and delight
You can hear the cars
And the shouts from bars
And the laughter and the fights"
(5) And finally the missing words round. This is from Jane Austen's Persuasion:
"If one happens only to shut the door a little hard, she starts and wriggles like a young ******** in the water."
