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.

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

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: :lol:
