CRYPTIC plumage 2 (4 Viewers)

I also wanted to say Yellow-billed Magpie, but thought you said there were no pies ...

And Tweety Pie is a Canary, but can't think of any Nearctic Canaries ...
 
Guess that would be -

Tweety, Toro and Foghorn Leghorn - Tweety Pie is yellow, Toro is bull(ed)? and Foghorn Leghorn is from Looney Tunes.

Was any of it correct?!

Nothing to do with Tweety being yellow, Toro on right lines, and still to get why I chose Foghorn Leghorn, they are all from Looney Tunes :t:

Thought you were making up bird names again, but see it exists ;) Nope, sorry, wrong region.

Presume you mean my ‘Pinkish Roseate Tern’ which was perfectly legitimate. since the previous bird had a colour in it’s name - Roseate is a colour or maybe you didnt realise that ;)

Of course. I took your 'Pinkish Roseate Tern' as a jokey response to Rafael's genuine 'Blackish Oystercatcher'. Was only teasing you based on the banter that followed on that thread. :t:

(Pinkish isn't part of the name - hence the made up bit.)

Quick look at the moth trap, but yes, night all. ET - think we'll need another clue, or number on letters or something on yours. Deb - think I have your second one. Saw some in Ukraine back when, nice birds.

Essex Tern said:
P/N: Did that bird really come running round that hill wearing a waistcoat!?

....OK further clue to an element of the the original clue: Ed Sheeran wrote a song about this.

And a totally different clue to the same bird:

P/N: Testing times for the young fisherman, especially having broken down last week.

Because there’s no point in having 2 threads running!


Did you ask for it to be closed? It's not your thread to decide - it's part of the community once it's going.


That's not the right way to do it ... if you wanted the other thread to end I guess it would be better to combine the two if anything.


Essentially threads very rarely if ever get locked, or deleted.
 
Some more from me to be going on with


8. WP: Child’s short bear to notice up front, attending most of Tchaikovskey Ballet - (7, 10)

9. N: Oriental timber for church seating takes double energy (7, 4-5)

10. WP: Drowned lover of Kate Winslet looses offspring (7)
