Just to confirm to JvR that I wasn't "ducking" the challenges but have only just returned from a nice long trip to Kruger, actually did put in my notice of absence at the end of my last challenge answers! :whistle:

So I am again ready to get into the bird guides once more and look forward to the next challenge. :thumbs_up:

All of those 'mites' with 11/12. Very good! :hands:

I got 9/11 due to a couple of needless errors, and then the nestling... :hmz:

Happy though.

Looking forward to the next offering from JvR.

LBJ's again

... lots of them

I plead innocent to being the coiner of the phrase UFO (unidentified fluffy object) in the previous challenge, but thanks I'll use the term in future

And talking of the previous challenge - no wonder I couldn't find the little one - it was a sea bird again! Always my downfall in challenges... :evil:

Sea bird?

Back to your books, Dabchick! :rtm:

They are equally at home at the coast as around inland water bodies :lol:

I'm sorry about not stealing from you! :lol:

The victim of my word theft was Flick of PNF... :redface:

Hi there

Sorry, I was out of the loop for the past couple of days.

I was the secret 100% achiever on the previous challenge. Got lucky on the UFO I guess.

As I said before, it is a team effort in preparation of BBD :hmz:

Now to tackle the next one....

Cheers

My answers are in, not too difficult overall (or at least that's how it seemed). The results may reveal a different story. :tongue:

One of the LBJ's led me on a merry chase and led to discovering a whole new species of bird I haven't taken any notice of before. I feel like Columbus or something. Very educational these challenges! :whistle:

That's OK Johan - you're excused this time

But am not sure about thanking you for this new challenge :hmz:

So, where are the books..........here goes again :think:
