2 species right so far.

 

[Xenospiza]

I'll change 2 to Northern Wheatear.

1 Greater Sand Plover
2 Northern Wheatear
3 Black-throated Thrush
4 Bluethroat
5 Great Bustard

 

[lou salomon]

1/5 xeno.

 

[Ghostly Vision]

1 is definitely Snow bunting
2 Goldfinch
3 Lesser short toed lark
4 Red throated thrush
5 Great bustard

hey! sean cracks the 5 point extra-bonus with 3 correct species. i know it's easier after others have tried but that "great bastard" (dimi) was actually a gift and he got 2 other sp. right which others didn't, at least not both together.

 

[lou salomon]

pickaboo.

 

[Surreybirder]

I'm pretty well stuck but a couple of guesses:
3 fulvous babbler
4 pine bunting

 

[lou salomon]

together with your guess before: 2/5, ken.

 

[Dimitris]

3)Calandra Lark???
4)Eyebrowed Thrush???

 

[lou salomon]

nope.

 

[postcardcv]

3. looks like another shore lark (maybe flava this time)?
4. rustic bunting?

 

[lou salomon]

>>1. curlew sand
2. black eared wheatear
3. common snipe
4. fieldfare
5. great bustard<<

i gave you the bustard. together with your previous guess (see above) you have 2 species right now, postcardcv. put them together, all species have been named!

 

[postcardcv]

1. snow bunting
2. goldfinch
3. shore lark
4. pine bunting
5. great bustard

???

 

[lou salomon]

that's it. well done, peter! :clap: :clap:

 

[postcardcv]

Seeing the full pictures I realise how blazingly obvious the goldfinch should have been...
I'd not realised that pine buntings could have such dark heads, but then I've only seen one.

 

[Surreybirder]

the frustrating thing is that as soon as I saw the quiz I thought snow bunting, but then none of them seemed quite right :blush:

no need for frustration, ken - see that both jurij and xenospiza thought there's a snow bunt and chose no.2 which was the goldfinch.. plus YOU got the other bunting right which i felt was the hardest.

peter, i also worried about the blackness of that male pine bunt head but it obviously is one.

Lou can we have some more pleaze ))

Cheers,

oh, after 13 rounds i was thinking of some nice official words etc to bring it at an end though i had quite a lot of fun with this quiz. maybe 2 more rounds, dan and jurij got to do their homeworks, i have to lern my texts.. and. - give me some time, probably i'll be here tonight with some nice five crops (still have material but i'd like it with a nice concept like for the last 5). ))
