Would like to enter also if that's ok. Will be going for the wild guess approach rather than the scientific photoshop analysis method mind . .

Don't know about other scores, but I am at 8/9. Years of stringing (= educated guess approach) finally paying off, hahaha.

Hallo Pim! JH
 
Can't help but want to follow that with "George Dawes, what's on the board Miss Ford!" 3:)

(We know TV when it is good TV don't we?)

I meant to type that, but got distracted by the poker tournament....I'm fairly confident my door has a 9 on it, mind, Seamus will no doubt shoot me down by calling me a 'teeny ticker' or 'low listing scum' sometime soon. Well I spose all I can say is. Br**n Fl**at**er ;)

Oh of course plus my bonus points for location on all of the pics......gonna need a large door.

Oh dear. It really is late.

Or early - which way round do you look at it? I have no idea.

Cheeeers

Well teeny ticking low-listing scumbag, you are one of the 8/9 elite.

Dantheman - please have a go by PMing me - the more the merrier.

I will post three more pics a little later then the last three on Thursday - the scores and answers will follow at the weekend, by which time Dan P will have caught another tart's tick up on me. And if a Wh*t*-cr*wn*d sp*rr*w can turn up in Norfolk in Jan, another Br**n Fl*catcher will turn up.

There's two Kuwait ones by the time you posted Jules!!!

Here are the last three. 10-12 have proven very difficult. See how you go on with these easy ones.

Glad you posted those last 3 there - gives me a reasonable chance of getting at least 3/15 ;)

Edit: actually not so bad, but a few dodgy ones at least . . .

Hello all

There is no deadline here, but I will announce the scores on Monday!!

Hotspur and Sylvia Staffs - I have three answers missing for both of you - no's 7-9 (Hotspur) and 10-12 (Sylvia). Do you want to put them in please?

Jane T - you weren't really making a tit of yourself and have a potentially high placing score were you to put in answers for those you haven't tried yet.

Good luck

Sean
 
To maybe encourage the last few stragglers to put in answers, I now post all 15 picturres with the bird highlighted. It is clear from the guesses that some people have missed some of the birds....

But it should help that no one had “the [first] bird from Kuwait” right (no I won't change it), so better guess adequately there!
 
Answers tomorrow along with a TIE BREAK PHOTO as currently there are two people on the same score in the lead - both unlikely to be beaten.

Co-incidentally they got the same ones wrong but with different answers.

I will continue to put tie-break pics up until one of the two gains the advantage.
