I've already had a go. Does Dan want another chance? If not I do have some photos.
Thanks for posting Sue, they were good fun!

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

I'm pretty sure Dan's away "to sunnier climes" at present. So, if you're willing then that's fine by me and I'll look forward to it.

Thanks Chris,

Sue.

I'll have a rummage then...

So shall I start a new thread?
I feel a bit guilty cluttering up the forum, but I guess it's the best way!

Hi Chris,

I'd definately start a new thread because as you say it is the best way, the only way now as this one has run it's course. Good luck Chris, let's hope the response is good! It's not cluttering the the board though, no more than any others - and it is informative and educational!

Sue.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for letting us know the results and congrats to Chris and Dan!

Numbers 4 & 5 were very tricky and I went for Kestrel instead of Fieldfare as I though it looked as if was hovering in the pic???? a good imagination eh? lol!!!

As for no 5....I hadn't a clue so went for Barn Owl strictly on colour.......and I'm sure I saw some trailing legs there too???

Thanks for putting them on Sue....good fun!

Best wishes,

Hi Ruth,

Glad you enjoyed it, you didn't do bad at all, just those couple that perhaps needed a little look at the book to check with. Here's No 5 the BH Gull brought up a little more to show you the juv plumage - better to prove there's no Owl legs under it too! Barn Owls wings are a little different. I see what you meant about the Fieldfare (you weren't the only one! Nor with the BHG), but a Kestrel only has a narrow band at the end of the tail, whereas the Fieldfare's is quite broad. All easily done though, but things like this help us all much more for the future.

You did very well Ruth and I'm pleased you enjoyed it, the main objective, so have a go on Chris' next one. Good luck. PS. Here's a Barn Owl too so you can see the wings a little to compare.

Sue

Click to expand...

Thanks for that Sue....I always try to do these things without books/googling as it makes you look for yourself and in the end learn more.....if you see what I mean?
And yes no trailing legs on the Black Headed Gull!! lol!!
Best wishes,
