Last year I encouraged you all the make a " Christmas Card Bird List" I mean ...why not ? Here's my tally .. ROBIN 14 UNKNOWN TO SCIENCE 7 BARN OWL 1 SOME SORT OF DOVE 1 MIXED THINGY 1 THRUSH sp ? 1 Pathetic total 25 Here's your big chance to work out what those " unknowns" could be ... this one contributes towards the 14 Robins ,,, but what are those other things ? I suppose that this next gaudy contraption is some sort of " partridge" in some sort of " pear tree" .. which also seemingly sports holly leaves etc ... v. odd. This little crittur is more subtle .. some sort of Thrush, but it doesn't look like any sort of Thrush I can find. Do you know what it is ? Are you the person with the dog ? Here's another of the 14 Robins .... but what's that "thing" on the branch to the right .. it looks like a multi-hybrid of all sorts of stuff ..or it could be some mega-rare vagrant . Or a triple cross-mating of a Chiffchaff, a "Short-tailed Long-tailed" Tit , and a Wren ... sort of. But I suspect, like some of those others, its probably just an "artist" who hasn't a clue. Feedback, positive or negative, is always appreciated .. ... there's a "comment" thing down there ... ... and an email address something like [email protected]
