[Apodemus]

Ruff it must be

 

[nickderry]

philomachus pugnax, never thought of that! broad bill and sharp tail in the same genus?? where does that leave pec sand?

 

[nickderry]

or have you seen a buff-breast? ruff is surely all on its own!?!

 

[nickderry]

then upland sand is a bit odd too! not that I'd know, I've only ever seen ruff out of all of these!

 

[NickPatel92]

It was a Ruff.

Ruff, Broad billed sand, Buff breasted sand, and Pec sand all fit into one large family, apparently. It's the Calidrad family. Upland sand is closely related to the Curlew family, Numenius, but is actually the only Bird in it's very own genus.

A few facts there for you.

What are all these (Pic's been edited)(FAIRLY EASY ONE!):

 

[neil78]

Pink-feet

 

[nickderry]

got to be, unless you've been off on your travels!

 

[NickPatel92]

Pink-feet

They were.

For this next one which is the Chough and what is the other one???

 

[wee kayso]

the one on the left is the chough,the other is a rook,?

 

[NickPatel92]

Nope.

 

[neil78]

Peregrine

 

[nickderry]

chough on the right and you've photoshopped a blackbird onto the left.

 

[Sue Wright]

chough on the right and you've photoshopped a blackbird onto the left.

Those were my exact thoughts too, Blackie on left, Chough on the right.

 

[NickPatel92]

chough on the right and you've photoshopped a blackbird onto the left.

You're too good!

What about these three?

 

[nickderry]

oh dear, these are hard, I'll have a stab at a whitethroat for number two, the others, I'll need to have a bit more of a think.

 

[ausmar]

i am trying tree pipit for the 2nd and willow warbler for the 3rd.

 

[On-Firecrest]

Willow Warbler for the last two?

 

[NickPatel92]

The only right one is Whitethroat for 2.

One of you were very close, but said the wrong number for the Bird...

 

[On-Firecrest]

number 1 is the tree pipit?

 

[NickPatel92]

nope, but one of them is a Tree pipit.
