And the final round, just three photos, all taken on my land or local patch. I reckon there is an easy one in this lot, plus a moderate one and one a bit trickier ...but then of course I already know the answer!

This is dementing me, on reflection eye size in relation to cheek etc would suggest its not a passerine! Jos you sure do pick em.

no, the eye is on the side of the head, and not big enough, urals have all black eyes anyway, with a red/pink rim.

On my screen the eye is black, and it also looks like the eye could be photographed from front on too. The feathering looks about right.

If it's a red eye then I need a new monitor...

All birds posted to date have been on my land, garden or local patch, so native, yes.

However, we do have a winner ...almost!

It was a combination of the fact that the species had not been mentioned and that you see them regularly in your garden.

Deduction is all part of the game!

So, a last little group - since eyes proved so popular (!), a couple more, along with a tail
