Post #26
It's a WP bird (see post #26), but give yourself a :clap: for sure for getting another one to fit*
Anyway, still to solve (9 letters). You'll be kicking yourselves I'm sure when you get it!
*(almost - the word 'bird' wasn't fulfilled?)
Surely not a White-eared Catbird 3

So answers so far:
Well done Kits :clap:
8. Spotted Nutcracker
6. Nightingale ( with Welsh Peregrine, Thrush Nightingale)
7. Demoiselle Crane (I think Dan got that one too)
9. Was actually Italian Sparrow but will give you ‘Spanish’ (as my ability to count letters has proven to be sporadic and therefore unreliable)
Well done Essex Tern who got the Titanic reference :clap:
10. Jackdaw
So only ET’s clue to go (which Dan seems to know but won’t say!?)
