I thought I'd start a seabird quiz. I've been taking photos of seabirds on pelagic trips for about 8 years now and have some devilishly tricky photos which are perfect for a fun quiz.

I've started with 3 photos from the last year, all of these photos will have identifiable photos of the bird in question in a more identifiable poses.

I'll keep checking in to answer suggestions and if anyone else has tricky photos feel free to post them.

Good luck!

Thanks Birdgirl42. There is a petrel in there plus a storm-petrel and a shearwater, hope this helps a little

3 is correct! you can see the bill and feet under the water.

1 & 2 are close but not quite there.

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Silverwolf,

I really wish that was a Sooty Albatross, that's one of my last remaining seabirds to see in Australia. Not an Albatross or a shearwater.

Cheers,

Rob
