You may not believe me Mutorashanga, but I have just said to my SO last week, the day will come when I press the post reply button instead of the PM! Now it has happened to you! :lol:

Fortunately you have scored 100%! Congratulations! :dance:

Ferdelance, thanks for the answers for #39 and the explanations, as well as for challenge #40! Much appreciated!!

To be dead honest I was a little rushed for time on friday, so the explainations were not very through and logical. I will try and elaborate more tomorrow on the Lark and the Tern.... :wall:

Oh that one!! :roll:

I am not going to finish it. I have already excluded the last two pics, they are just IMPOSSIBLE for me ( I do not often give up up, but this time....) :cry:

Good luck

Micetta can I crop the pics some more for a better view? Let me do that as the details are a little tricky otherwise!

Nice thought, Ferdelance

But leave it as it is....it will divide the sheep from the "blue-blooded" :whistle:

I admit to being a sheep :roll:

At a second thought....maybe cropping the last pic could be useful even to the sheep :whistle:

Don't you worry Ferdelance! You have just made sure that we use all our guides properly for a change! Not that it helps, but we will submit on or before Friday! :thumbs_up:

Only 5/10 for #39 :wall:

I think it's maybe time to concede defeat and put away my bird books for Southern Africa?
