All Steamed Up #1

Don’t you just hate it when your Scope steams up just as you’re about to make an ID on something or other? Perhaps if you feel like it you could maybe help me to work out what the misted up mysteries could be. It may be easier to view them if you open them up large, (the photos don't seem to want to load too well tonight).!! As always though, it’s just for fun.!!

  • I'd love to be able to help you out there Paul but I can't id much at the best of times!!   I'm sure it must be nearly bedtime so I won't dash out and view this on the PC but will let other clever people help you out.   Have fun everyone, signing of chicken.....

  • Wow Paul you do come up with some clever ideas and after all your hard work  I have to give it a go.

  • Crikey Paul, you do come up with some challenging quizzes. I tried wiping the lens but that didn't help. I tried several different pairs of glasses but that didn't help either so I'm struggling but I'll have a go.

    2. Could be a Comma but I'll try Small Tortoiseshell, just to be different.
    3. Robin
    4. Grey Heron
    5. I'll try Meadow Pipit without much conviction
    6. Teal male
    7. Fieldfare ?????
    8. Like Shane very uncertain so GCG is my guess too.
    9. No idea
    10. Moss on a tree. LOL
    11. Frogs??
    12. Marsh Tit
