Quickies  -

 

1         David  -  you’re right.  You got 22

2         Right again  -  I transposed answers 14 & 15

3         Ian, I expect the details of Mat’s participation in the World Cup in South Africa and the composition of the remainder of the team to be the subject of consultations involving FIFA, SBS, Fox Sports and COG

 


The answers are:

1         Peaceful Dove (uncommon r/v)

2         Dusky Woodswallow

3         Olive-backed Oriole

4         Eastern Spinebill

5         Blue-faced Honeyeater (very uncommon visitor)

6         Willie Wagtail

7         A Magpie

8         L Kookaburra

9         Eastern Rosella

10     Red-rumped Parrot

11     N Friarbird (fledglings)

12     Darter

13     Gang-gang

14     P Currawong

15     Crested Pigeon

15A Latham’s Snipe

16     Rainbow Bee-eater

17     Little Friarbird (uncommon r/v)

18     Grey Teal

18A B-fronted Dotterel

19     Red Wattlebird

20     Spotted Turtledove (uncommon introduction)

21     Great Cormorant

22     Brown Falcon

23     Superb Parrot

24     Silver Gull

25     Y-t Black-Cockatoo

 

With the admitted ‘shading’ assistance, Steve got 21  -  as did David Cook.  However the best effort was by Mat Gilfedder, who came in with an extraordinary 24, whether with any image-manipulation or not I cannot say, but a fine performance in any event.  The most troublesome image was the Wille Wagtail No 6, the subject of a variety of stabs.  Only Philip Veerman got this.
