These are the answers:
1

Common Starling

Royal Spoonbill (Yellow-billed will
do)

5
White-necked Heron (any heron or
egret for a half-point)
6
Whistling Kite (long tail, although
fanned)
7
Pink-eared Duck
8
Masked Lapwing
9
Little Egret
10 Skylark
11 Black-shouldered
Kite
12 Double-barred

All got at least 7.5. The 3 top scores (which would
have bettered my own efforts) were Richard Allen 11, Steve Holliday 10.5,
Anthony Overs 9.5. I think those scores show remarkable expertise. Only
Richard got No 11 and only Shaun Bagley No 6. No-one got No 5 as any kind
of heron. The 4 most troublesome, together with their originals, are
below.
