Haven't got a bulls notion..........

Is that either a ruppelles warbler or a sardinian warbler?

Well Done Jamie. I'll give you that one on the 50/50. It is indeed a Sardinian Warbler.

Scores So far: Jamie= 5 points (would have been 10 for a spot on guess!)

Heres number two:

I'm open to bribes for clues but points go to first post with correct guess!

You're making me have to go to my bird guides for these, you know that don't you ?

Kingfisher

Could this be a turnstone?

Is got to be either a Ringed Plover or a Little Plover.They look very alike, and I still can't decide between two birds!

Very warm. No points for 50/50 on this one Jamie! And Kingfisher, isnt it a good way of brushing up on your ID skills!

Clue: This was taken in Gran Canaria in March.

Oooh now this is a hard one! :question::question:

is it a Kentish Plover?

No, no. Gone cold again. Stick to your 50/50 assumption.

Little plover

no i think its a ringed plover actually

yeh a ringed plover
