Good Question 29 - Can I Have The Bill Please?

Welcome to the first quiz night Tuesday of 2016. Tonight's question is all about bills. So can you identify which birds these bills belong to.  I have switched comment modification on, so none of your answers will appear until I reveal the correct answers. I will post the answers on Thursday, so good luck, and hope you don't lose too many hours working them out.

And the answers are

1.

Tree Sparrow


2.

3. 

Grasshopper Warbler

4. 

Swallow

5. 

Sanderling

6.

    I'm rubbish at this, Findlay. The only one which looks vaguely familiar is No.1.
    Is is a Sparrow? Finch? Definitely one of those types.

    Only one right - think I need to look over a ringer's shoulder more often!

    Great quiz if slightly embarrassing
