I just don't see #1 as a Bluethroat. It's blue/grey above and the apparent super' looks like a piece of grass to me!

OK Harry has gone... three birds have been named correctly, and one person got all three first time

Thats a coconut to the person concerned becuase the one that they got wrong looks nothing like it the species it is on the pic!
