A cool game which is also aiding research from the Universities of Exeter and Cambridge

Ooooh I went a bit boggle eyed looking for those nightjars :-O Fun tho' :t:

I got most but there WERE some tricky ones in there :king: It's given me a fun way to torture my non-birder hubby :-O

Really was difficult! I averaged 7.5 seconds though and I think I only failed on one or two.

I somehow only missed 2 with an average time of 7.66 seconds. Although I admit that on one pic I just kept clicking the mouse all over the screen till I found it |:$|

Average of 3.23secs for me on my first go - was pleased with that, but "You've not made the top ten". Oh well

Thanks for the heads up......

An impossible task - it's pitch black!!
(Or maybe I've got the same problem as birdboybowley above...)

Is it the same pictures, if so then you can't have more than one go that is unfair!

No, they varied though there may have been a couple of repeats :t:. Presumably you get a random 20 shots from a pool of ?? shots

Fun game. Thanks.

For those getting a black screen, try using Google Chrome. I was also getting a black screen when using Internet Explorer.

For those with black screen, try a different viewing animal. I was ok using mongoose as my 'eyes'.
