Hi IanH
Surely that first one must be from my Avatar?
1) A great spotted woodpecker?
If it's wrong I don't mind, but if it's right I wanted to get it. LOL
2) I'm going for jay
I'm still trying the rest.
That last one is a complete mystery, even with the help of your bird identifier
Best wishes Chris

You could be onto a winner there..or could you... i won't give too much away just yet!
The last one might cause some confusion so i'll give you a little hint, its not from a native bird but the owner of the feather can turn up in the wild in the UK!
I didn't do the 1st quiz but will have a try with this one
1. GSW as woodpecker suggested
2. Jay with you on that also w
3. ? magpie but never seen one, sure its not gull etc due to shape.
4. ? its v wee, so think this is way of, but don't starlings have a paler edge to their feathers.
5. I know what this was as we had some as watch dogs!! There was a thread about them a day or so ago.

Hi, I would agrees with Barnsley lad that 5 is a guineafowl. A neighbouring farmer used to keep them roaming about his yard when I was a child. Make good guard dogs, terrible racket when you arrived.

Now we have a clue I also think 5) is a Guinea fowl.
I agree that 3) is good for Magpie
4) I'm going to guess at Teal secondary as it's so small
Thank you for all of your comments and your suggestions. I think Osprey has got a clean sweep!
