Ok guys
I hope you all don't mind but I thought i would bring back one of the challenges from a couple of months ago - the letter challenge. This time it is the fourth letter. The guidelines are slightly different to last time (a little stricter) so please make sure that you read the new ones carefully before participating.
Rules
- Person A posts a photo (e.g. Purple Swamphen)
- The next person (person B) has to post a photo of a bird with the first word (not second word) of the bird's common name (the full commonly accepted name for the bird) starting with the fourth letter of the first word in the previous birds name.
- So for Purple Swamphen, the next bird could be Purple-crowned Fairy-wren or Pied Butcherbird.
- Use the bird's full current common name, not scientific name or other names they might go by (e.g. Peewee or Mudlark - it has to be Magpie-lark).
- One entry per person per time (so if the letter is R, don't go posting 5 birds starting with R, just one) BUT you can play again after 2 other people have had a go.
- The same bird species can be posted more than once (but must be a different photo) and there can be multiple birds in the shot (i.e. it can be a flock of the same species).
Cool!

Oh Reflex - full name is Australian Magpie... do you want to edit and try a different one?

Oh haha didnt think about it that much. Just thought King Parrot not Australian King Parrot. But I do have a Kelp Gull but I have to wait till I can use the PC instead of the Ipad so if anyone else has a K bird you can post it.
Doesn't everyone have a King Quail pic?
You might also have said 'That's a good NNH pic as you don't often see them standing in the lagoon during the day!'
Peter
KelP Gull juvenile and adult. Sorry had it filed under an alternative name. Sue
Samford Valley Qld.
PurPle Swamphen edit posted same time sorry, delete if you want Holly and "I" will be a tough, unless some has an Indian Yellow Nosed Abatross they have been hiding!
Dale Huonville, Tasmania
Perhaps Intermediate Egret would be easier. Sue
I have an Indian Peafowl.....but that would bring us straight back to I
To add to sues Egret, Inland Thornbill or Dotteral anyone?
West Coast Tasmania
I would post one of my many, "Indian Yellow Nosed Abatross'' photo's but I have to wait till two more posts before I'm allowed.
I must admit I didn't think about what the next bird was going to be.
Samford Valley Qld.
Have to admit, I'd never heard of them before Dale mentioned one, so couldn't help but google it for a sticky. One seriously attractive Albatross with it's racing stripe beak!
West Coast Tasmania
I didn't know there was such a bird. Trouble is the fourth letter would still be "I".
Samford Valley Qld.
IntErmediate Egret .... that is the full name isnt it?
Sunshine Coast Queensland
EleGant parrot.
GreY Whistler so where are those Yellow ones? Sue
How about a Yellow Wattlebird.
West Coast Tasmania
What a beautiful bird, Annie. Are they common in Tasmania as I do not recall seeing one before? Sue
They're are a striking bird. A Tasmanian endemic Sue & the largest Aus Wattlebird. Relatively common except for the West of the State I believe, although I haven't seen them very often myself in the North - not looking in the right places probably
Apologies Reflex, I missed your comment re the Pied Oystercatcher. Yes, lying on the cold wet sand

LitTle corella.
TawNy Frogmouth, we are allowed to post the same species? Just not the same photo?

Are you still using the 1Div and one of your many Canon "L" primes or have you upgraded to something better

There's no doubt about it. It has to be said that's the ugliest bird I have ever seen! Even it's own mother would deny having anything to do with that.
