  • 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

  • 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.

  • Hi Ian

    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
