What and where Bird Quiz (1 Viewer)

that were my starlings - what about a flock of migrating common teals?

 

[neil78]

That was my storks as well!
How about Black Kites?

 

[phil baber]

Oh you guys! LOL!

I'm sure we'll get there one day...:-C

I mean, you can actually SEE the birds in this one!:-O

 

[Trystan]

Did see those things and dismissed them as marks since they seem semi-transluscent.

Going to try gulls, of the yellow legged variety.

how common are glossy ibises on the algarve...?

how common are glossy ibises on the algarve...?

We saw several at Castro Marim. This quiz is descending into chaos! Excellent! :-O

Sapal is where the photo was taken btw...

Not Glossies! B

 

[rosbifs]

Lesser kestrels

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

Spoonbills?

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

I was trying to be clever by following the "glossy" comment without looking again at the picture. Now I have, I see the birds appear dark - honey buzzards?

 

[lou salomon]

did they fly directly east or did they circle? (fishing for clues)

 

[neil78]

How about good ol' Southern Grey Shrikes..?8-P
Only joking...maybe Greater Flaming-O's??

 

[Trystan]

Slightly aimless guessing now, it seems quite a dense flock so... Chough

 

[rosbifs]

Med gulls - all but the third on the left are adults....

 

[phil baber]

Spoonbills?

I'm afraid I will have to accept your first answer. Sorry. It is an un-written rule in this quiz that if the correct answer is broadcast, at the risk of giving the game away, points must be awarded to whoever gave it. If I'd said which do you want Honey Buzzard or Spoonbill? That'd be a massive clue. So unfortunately WP you're gonna have to swallow the 3 points.

They were indeed Spoonbills. A flock of 40.

And Lou, they circled up and then flew directly West.:-O

Trystan: 31
neil78: 30
lou salomon:30
Welsh Peregrine: 27
Jan-Paul Charteris: 8
Maltese Falcon: 1

I'm glad there's no justice in this game - I'm not honestly convinced I'd have got the right answer from the reveal, but I'll still take the points.
