is this a quiz?

sounds like it... though the questions not specific enough for me to have an idea what the answer could be :lol:

A sighting of a pair of this species was made on the forum earlier in the day, presumably by someone unaware of the 'rules'.
It would seem that the moderators have deleted the entry very speedily.

Rog, you need to source your quizes from more obscure places:
http://www.englishnature.org.uk/about/teams/team_photo/HumberheadNNR05.pdf

now my quiz:

1) which is the most misidentified raptor in the UK?
2) who is consitently the funniest member of Lincsbirdforum?
3) what is the most amusing bird common name of all time?

Roger Hebb · **Posted:** Tue Jun 05, 2007 10:47 am

Heck,That was quick,all correct and the first lincs bird trivia champ.
i actually thought question 2 was hard cos if you do not have the english nature leaflet of thorne /hatfield etc,its not easy,as for the answers to yours,...................

1,Honey Buzzard,as every spring,we have a proliferation of honey buzzards flying over whichI reckon are mostlyCommon Buzzard species,Ive yet to see a honey buzzard fly over me in spring,not including the influx year..but no doubt your answer is .......Black Kite.

2,try me for answer 2...altho its a close run thing between gpc,max me,josh.........??

3,yellow bellied sapsucker

I'm afraid all question answers are subjective:

1) in all probability its Kestrel or Golden Eagle for lay people. Amongst those that should no better, its probably Gos.

2) too many contenders, but the irrepressible Roger gets my vote

3) Phalacrocorax carunculatus every time for me

John Clarkson · **Posted:** Tue Jun 05, 2007 11:05 pm

In that case with at least two out of three I declare myself the winner and claim my prize whatever that may be. However, I should point out, Alex, that in my (subjective) opinion you are wrong on one count.

Since I have never met Alex, and the LBC profile doesn't say, can you tell me if Alex is female or male :?:

I asked Rog today at his second home [MSQ] is Alex a female, and he said he wasn't sure. :wink:
