Yes, one or two of us put this in our answers. But Halcon has never seen one so it wasn't confirmed.......

[Kernow Pete]

[Parker]

Mallard, Teal, Coot, Snipe, Northern Shoveler, Gadwall & Wigeon.


ps, Nico I nearly went for Dunlin & Sanderling in fact I'm trying to remember why I didn't!

 

[Jon Turner]

Lots of Shoveler and some Wigeon, Teal, a Snipe, a Coot, and a couple of Mallard.

Er, I must be losing the plot, everyone else has Gadwall too, but I'm not convinced......


And also, Neil must be bribing the judges as he seems to have been awarded 3 points when he clearly got one wrong..... ! So Nick, you're closer than you thought!

I think there are 2 gadwall at the top of the pic a male and female. But I only got 3 points last time! I did rush through! That is my excuse and I am sticking to it!

Er yerss, I've got my glasses on now, so I think you be right there! :-C

 

[Allen S. Moore]

I reckon Mallard, Shoveler, Teal, Snipe, Gadwall and Wigeon this time.

As an honest Manxman I would like to mention that it looks as if you gave me some extra points last time. No, I don't like negative scoring, but I suppose that it is up to you to set the rules, Halcon, but perhaps not to change them partway through! It reminds me of a fiendish BBC Radio 4 quiz called the Unbelievable Truth which also had negative scoring for errors. However, in the context of birdwatching negative scoring would deal with those who imagine that they see things, in the field, that is. Actually, a lot of imagination was needed to identify some of the photographs in your first Spanish Quiz!

Jon,

Well spotted. However as myself and Nick gave the same answers then there will still be a one point difference between us.

Nico I think you'll need to adjust the scores.

ps, If we have got this last round right then I fear Nick WILL have caught me up. I reckon we could be in for a very close finish.

BTW Nico how many rounds are there going to be?
