RE: Bird Quiz

Is that either a ruppelles warbler or a sardinian warbler?

RE: Bird Quiz

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:

RE: Bird Quiz

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!

RE: Bird Quiz

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.
