All done in good spirit and somewhat tongue in cheek. I will give the answers later this afternoon. Geoffrey, thanks for allowing me to “borrow” your photos.

 

Cheers all,

Mark

Geez Mark.  You run a tighter border control than I do.

 

I guess the SCC and the WTE both escape north.  If the bottom RH corner bird is a flycatcher (?), then it also needs to be rounded up for visiting northern shores.  Those plus the $bird.

 

But the $bird is a recidivist and so I single it out.

Oh dear Geoffrey, there are at least four species in your main photo that are not dinky di Aussies, plus of course Ned’s mate.  I suppose they could have gone down to Lake Burley Griffin this morning to meet the GG, the PM and the VC winner to become fully fledged Aussie citizens!

 

Anyone care to try and list them?

 

Mark
