How big is an average sized water bottle?! 330 ml or 1 litre? - (I could be really pedantic and take this as one of the 20 questions, but I won't) . . . I wondered too. I've been in France a lot of the last few years so as it's bottled water a lot out there, I initially thought 1.5 or even 2 litre. However I assumed the questioner was thinking uk so my answer related to the personal type people seem to buy for their lunches these days (what's wrong with tap water anyway?), so yes, to be really specific, it is bigger than the 330ml version . . . !
If you wish to know how it relates to any other size shape or form of said water receptacle that will of course be a separate question . .

11)does it spent half the summer night's churring?- no
I can see the reasons for the last 3 guesses, however, don't forget this isn't necessarily just uk (or even european) species
we've had size, migration, some bird families, but there are some other questions before it narrows down too much possibly . . . *evil chuckles*
