Quick, no-one else has had a go. Stick down the first thing that comes to mind
1. Kentish Plover 2. Pallas' Reed Bunting 3. Rats, nothing comes to mind 4. White-billed Diver 5. White-fronted Geese

OK, Red-throated Diver.
Never was any good at geese - don't get enough practice down here, but they seem relatively thin-necked, so I'll guess Bean just for the hell of it. Jason |

Joern... yes adamsii is WB Diver
It was a hint...but not a geographical one, it was an attempt at portraying the call! |

Well I guess any grey-headed Whitethroat isn't going to show such clean white underparts, so I'm going to heed my betters on that one. Current thinking:
1. Kentish Plover 2. Reed Bunting 3. Lesser Whitethroat 4. White-throated Diver 5. Pink-footed Goose Jason |

Go on convince yourself they look small headed and short-necked. Pink-feet over my house! Not sure what a White-throated diver is though! The banana-bill is in a select band of rarities that I have seen from a licensed drinking establishment. What's more it was my second at Filey! The others are of course Kentish Plover... As a kid I was lucky enough to have one spend four consecutive winters right by my house. I'm pretty sure I've not seen one since in the UK. This was taken on Lesvos. The other two are Reed Bunting in not enough shadow to confuse you....I should have edited the bill shape, and Lesser Whitethroat. Last edited by Jane Turner : Saturday 22nd November 2003 at 00:54. |

Thanks a million for that wonderfully entertaining run of quizzes, Jane. Considering I made such an idiot of myself, why do I find myself hankering after more?

Knowing how useless I am with a camera there will be more, but you'll know that they are all local birds!

If you like I can dig out some old video stills. Usually of dubious quality and always guaranteed a less than helpful angle. Yes?
