How Many?

[Ruby]

OK - So how many different birds can you spot in this pic (blurry of course..)

More than me, I bet.....

Not 100% sure about some, but I make it 124.

I think there's 7, but I bet there's a snipe hiding there somewhere.

Might have guessed... you did better than me - I didn't spot the Mallard.

I wouldn't be surprised about the Snipe. I know there are lots at Oare, but I didn't see any today.

I did initially think there was a Grey Plover (left and slightly behind the gull) but it's just 2 Dunlin close together....

What's the upper left most bird, its to the left of the lapwing?

[Michael Frankis]

Hi Pete,

I wondered about that one as well. I think it's just another roosting teal, but it could be a Curlew. I wasn't happy enough about it to stick it on my list above though

I was pleased to get seven, that one bugs me though.
