All i'm going to give you was that it was taken last year somewhere in Europe. And i think it's only fair to say at the outset that, if i hadn't taken the pic, i wouldn't have a clue.

A bird.

A black redstart?????

spectacled bulbul?

graeme782 · Friday 1st February 2008, 16:32

Of the three answers so far only one of you have got it right, and sadly that was Henry. And to be honest, i was hoping for a little more precision.

jacana · Friday 1st February 2008, 18:08

On-Firecrest · Friday 1st February 2008, 18:12

chiffchaff?

graeme782 · Friday 1st February 2008, 18:20

Without wanting to give the game away too early, somebody has managed to get quite close.

graeme782 · Saturday 2nd February 2008, 08:02

There's been a lot of close guesses without actually hitting the nail on the head. Can't be long now.

Andrew Whitehouse · Saturday 2nd February 2008, 08:58

Sombre Tit.

graeme782 · Saturday 2nd February 2008, 09:29

Well done to anyone who suggested it was a Tit of some description, and congratulations to Lou and Pim who finally concluded it must be a Siberian Tit.

Regards.

Graeme.
