I got 6/10.and i'm not really a bird spotter,so the twitchers should do better.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Don’t mention pheasants around Mrs Watt. We are woken daily at 6.30 by one noisy blighter.

[KLClaret]

I'm no twitcher but I do love our feathered friends. A smug 10 for me.

[lakedistrictclaret]

10 for me too.

[Herts Clarets]

Pheasants cause more damage to your vehicle when you hit them than pigeons do. New front grill on a car when I hit one on the A1M and various damage to commercial vehicles at work - large dent in the roof of one van and a replacement screen on another when the pheasant came through the screen.

Pigeons just take a bit of cleaning up.....

[tim_noone]

Birdman.... didnt get the Owl.

[evensteadiereddie]

A 9 for me, cocked up the owl's claw print.

[beddie]

Yes the owls claw print got me as well so a 9 for me.

[Taffy on the wing]

8/10..... storm petrol & Goldfinch

10. A bit easy for someone who is interested in birds.

Catch it. Kill it. Cook it. Eat it.

Problem solved.

[Bosscat]

Missed the owls claws and mixed up house and hedge sparrow so 8 / 10

Got 10 but must admit guessed the owl.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

I can’t. My ma used to aim for them on the Moors. Regularly bringing one home to hang around for a week. Turned my stomach.

9. Got the last one wrong, though should have got it right (first instinct).

[Rowls]

Yeah a week is a long time to hang a pheasant. Depends how you like it but I'd only give them a couple of days strung up. If it's a hen you might get away without hanging at all or even just a day.

I always find that when I do these things, I think I've got a great score and then see everyone else has a higher score. That means:

A. People only post when they've scored well.
B. I'm a dumbass.
C. Both of the above.

For the record, I got 7/10. And I'm quite pleased with that

[KateR]

8 for me and no next to nothing about birds, so must have been a couple of good guesses among the few I actually knew

It was pretty easy tbf. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken part..I'm a pretty grounded dumbass to.

Slightly OT but quite interesting for any bird watchers.

The House Martin's returned to our house last week where they have nested for quite a few years under the eaves.
Imagine their surprise when they looked into last year's nest to find a young family of House Sparrows squawking at them.

10, guessed the Owl, narrowed it to two and got lucky.

All but the Owl print.

[JohnMac]

10/10 but I do a bit of Bird photography and have been an RSPB Member for many years.
