Quiz 5 answers

[Julian Robinson <>]

Geoffrey thanks for these quizzes, I enjoyed my only entry.  They
obviously require a fair effort both to prepare and to 'mark', but
(especially this last and somewhat easier one) are greatly appreciated by
at least this participant. I remain mystified by numbers 5 & 6 and
need a reality check to prepare for my next attempt at the Spring
quizzes.  On my computer these both are distinctly
orange/pink.  Do some kookaburras actually have some pink plumage,
or is this just my monitor or a photographic artifact?  Likewise,
the Spotless Crake which I wouldn't recognise anyway, from my book has no
pink/orange at all, just a very brown kind of brown, so ... same
question. 

Thanks again

Julian
