I didn't see any options other than you had to name the bird. Each one you got wrong you lost points.

One of my earlier attempts even had a dark blob on the side of a cliff face that was a Brunnich's Guillemot. Now that was stretching the imagination a bit but I suppose you could have had a lucky guess. I doubt if anyone would have known exactly what that bird was unless you were actually at a certain location and knew what you were looking for.
