Guess The Bird

[*Nerwen* 0]

okay I think this has been played before. But it is fun.

 

One person posts a picture of a bird and you have to guess the name.

 

The person who guesses correctly get to put up the next picture. You can use your own pictures or ones found on the internet, but do not hotlink pictures. Upload them to your your photobucket account and remember to keep them in side the board size rules.

 

lets begin:

Close Elly, but no, not a hawk.

 

Here's a picture of the same bird but not flying anymore.

In flight it very much looked like a gull. Standing with those powerful legs I would never have guessed a gull

Nerwen is correct your next :sad:

mmk... try this one.

 

[Feathers 0]

It has the look, shape and frontal markings of a wattle bird, but red beak? It is an australian bird.

It is going to bug me until I work it out. The shape of beak indicates a honeyeater of some description.
