Memories in your mind are as good as a pic, Val! Nice bird aren't they!


It is a contortionist, Mannix! A good pic!

Great Crested Grebe?

 

[Mannix]

Not either of those

 

[JCLynn]

Slavonian Grebe?

 

[Mannix]

Not Slav.

 

[Pam_m]

Red-necked Grebe?

 

[v_cowell]

I am stumped by this one as I also thought Ruddy Shellduck, so I will say Little Grebe instead.|:||

 

[Mannix]

Keep trying folks, let me know if you need a clue. I will say it's not the commonest of birds.

 

[Pam_m]

Ok then...Black-Necked Grebe and a clue please...well I want a clue don't know about the others!o

 

[JCLynn]

Clue please! I've worn out 6 different field guides already and I'm now on 'birds of costa rica'! :-O

:-O:-O:-O Cheersm8.


Pochard?

 

[Mannix]

Ok I have widened the shot a bit to show a teeny bit of her mate. This bird is in the RSPB handbook and I have seen ten of them in one place this very evening.

 

[JCLynn]

Gawd! this is tough. Now I'm down to a choice of two. I'll take a gamble and say
Red Crested Pochard.

 

[Sy V]

Mandarin? Although I reckon m8's got it.

 

[pie]

3rd'd :t:

 

[Pam_m]

4th'd!o

 

[Mannix]

Yeah Red Crested Pochard it is. I knew you would get it with that tiny extra bit of info. They are breeding on my local waters and as I said I saw 10 of them yesterday. Here is the full pic......

I'm feel a bit cheated about guessing correctly. I live down south where 'they are supposed to be' and have never seen one. You live 'oop north' which I thought was out of their range, and you see ten at once! :-O

 

[palval147]

Well, I did say Pochard at the bottom of the last page, but I guess as I didn't say Red Crested, it don't count.||
Well done Cheersm8.

Sorry for being so strict with that one Val, but it is an entirely different bird and a clue like "what kind of Pochard?" would have made it too easy. :t:

 

[JCLynn]

Well, heres my quizzy contribution to the thread. Shouldn't be to difficult for the ducky people.

All FOUR bird species though.
