Hello,
I am a bit bored now since the points games have finished so I am going to try to do a little quiz. Not aiming for it too be long term but just a bit of fun.
This quiz is different because it is sooooo hard!

Now to start off this is one of the hardest I've got so lets get it over with:


Any one (apart from Tim.birdboy who knows this one and I think Teamsaint does too) who guesses this first time is a super ID-er.
Anyway it will be fun so have a go.

Sorry, not Goldfinch (PS don't be fooled by the colour that it appears to be, that is just the camera). Keep guessing.

OK, you are all far far off.
Here is the major clue, it is dull in colour, very common (in Britain/Europe) doesn't land much at all and screams.
Maybe thats a bit too much info???

We have a winner!

Progne Subis, you guessed correctly :king: :clap: :clap: , well done this is in fact an unbelievably rubbish photo of Common Swift Apus Apus.
Here is a slightly better one (well, you can make it out) from the same sequence.

And here is the next photo
I have modified it to make it harder but I reckon you'll get it pretty easy.

EDIT: Just realised it looks like it says this image has beer, it doesn't mean that it means been.
