Some nit has sent me an " answer" to the puzzle I set you in the previous post . I can't help thinking that he/she has failed to read the instructions with sufficient care. Or, in fact, at all. Putting it bluntly, it is about the "worst" answer that could be devised. Here's "his/her" so called "solution" .... Black-winged Stilt Blackbird Green Woodpecker Mandarin Duck Wandering Albatross Siberian Chiffchaff Redwing Black-throated Thrush Sandwich Tern Jackdaw Lesser Black-backed Gull Red-necked Phalarope Mediterranean Shearwater Semi-palmated Sandpiper Ortolan Bunting Lady Amherst's Pheasant Quail Pomarine Skua Short-toed Treecreeper Great White Egret Great Spotted Cuckoo Olive-backed Pipit White-winged Black Tern Waxwing Yellow-browed Warbler Buzzard Well, "he" seems to have gone the extra mile in taking 26 birds to "get" all 26 letters of the alphabet. The word " twerp" comes to mind. He was supposed to "do" it using as few birds as possible. I blame the schools mainly. Seriously folks ... let's have a "proper" answer. But now, in a return to some sort of sanity,some completely irrelevant music ... I know which two birds I would start with. So there. And if you want to see my humble attempt you will find it at the end of this link. It will lead you to an ancient post and then you scroll down to the end of it. 126-the-newcastle-laughing-gull-and-me.html

Someone tried. That's all that matters. They sat down, took their time and made the effort. Good for them. If you're reading this, I love your answer.

Thanks for the comment. I have to admit that I "invented" that "twerp" to give me the opportunity to put that ridiculously long and gormless answer on there. I suppose you could call it the " Maximum Solution."
