I have answers to all but not 100 % convinced about 9 and 10. I have messaged them to H, though not sure if they will get there?

Phew, some of those were hard especially 4 and 10 cos they were birds I'd never heard of. My results are HERE
Thanks for challenging us, Hazel. Gets the brain working during the dark days of winter

I think Gardenbirder's OH may have got there first but it's not really a competition.
In reply to TeeJay:
joint winners - well done Mr GB and Tony
TJ, Mr GB suggests you visit the Hawk Conservancy Trust where you can see an example of number 4--called Galaxy!
Kind regards,
Ann
TJ, Mr GB will try to remember to take a photo of Galaxy when he is there on Wednesday.
Ok, has everyone had enough time to work out the answers ? I will post up answers (which some of you have already worked out) later this evening.
In reply to Gardenbirder:
Thanks Ann, it's somewhere I've wanted to visit. Perhaps in the summer when I visit my cousin on the otherside of the Severn.
EDIT I've just realised you were talking about the Hawk Conservatory Trust near Andover. I was thinking of the International Centre for Birds of Prey at Newent in Glos. Doh
OK here we go with the answers; thanks to all who participated and well done to those who managed to complete the quiz correctly, methinks I'll have to be more cryptic for the next one !
