RE: Bird Quiz

It's so hard for me to tell sometimes if I'm not looking for a bird I consider to be 'American' or 'British' Icon_biggrin .

I've seen both Black-legged Kittiwakes and Franklin's Gulls, by the way Icon_smile .

RE: Bird Quiz

Hi all. I have purchased a new bird book, named the AA Field Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe. This should really help me with Paul's Bird Quiz. Icon_biggrin
