Default Bird Quiz 002

Have put this bird quiz for everyone to look at over the weekend. Some of the birds are harder to ID than others, but all shots taken in the UK and most are fairly simple if you spend a bit of time checking them over.

There are 3/4 people i would fully expect to get all of them correct, you know who you are so give others a chance first and post your answers a bit later.

Will post the answers after the weekend. Have fun.

OK THE ANSWERS ARE... Pic1 Spotted Flycatcher, Pic2 Waxwing Flock, Pic3 LONG-EARED OWL.

Have to say well done to Little Sparrow for getting Spotted Flycatcher so early, its is a slightly unusual photo of one on the ground and not how you would imagine seeing one so good shout for that. Mike Also done well on both quizzes I put on.
