Hello all
Thanks for taking part in my crop-fest recently.
There is a new quiz which is about to be compiled. I am really excited about it. It is going to be very different!
It involves no identification skills, just a bit of observation, lateral thinking and a little knowledge of the Western Palearctic list.
As before, you will need to pre-register to take part and it will be done by PM.
This time I am not going to offer prizes - it will be just for fun.
There is some time before it is ready, so please register your interest on this thread and I'll give pre-warning for the start.
All the Best

Thank you lots Sean. I think BF should have a plaque (or something) made in your honour - you are the quizmaster of them all!

Squabble over handbags?
Nonsense, Laura and I would be sure to agree over handbags. Squabble over chocolate, maybe. I'm sure she was eating some this evening and she didn't pm me any. ;)
Anyway, this isn't the thread you were supposed to be being rude to me on, remember.

I shall sit this one out (heading abroad soon for three weeks so I dare say I'll miss a chunk of it), but I look forward to seeing how it has been progressing when I get back.
Best of luck everyone.

A growing list of participants, but not many new faces.
This is not an identification challenge, it's a bird-based proper quiz. The title of it will give it away, so I will reveal that later.
It will also be quite easy - you'll need the pre-mentioned requisites, but also a bit of guess work, knowledge of famous people, geography, places and other stuff. With all that, you will get the answers.
As for time availability, it's what I do in the brief interludes betwwen work and family life. Doesn't take long periods of effort, just lots of small ones.
Been planning it mentally for the last few days and I've some corkers!
JWN - don't need to sit it out, as it is unlikely to be starting before you come back. Come on Down!!!
