| | | Bit of 'fun'
Not sure if anyone else may find this entertaining (or if its just me?), but I thought I could try start an ID game. May already have been done.
If you take a normal photo, cut out a section and see if people can guess what it is. Obviously it helps if its a reasonable photo and the bit you show can help ID the bird.
Here's an example - and a fairly easy one at that. Feel free to guess and contribute your own photos.  |

Great spotted.  Think the Pied has a red belly, that looks more like red bum!

That must be one enormous feeder for a GSW to look to small.....
BTW the original pic is next to it in the Gallery, clicking the image to try and view it larger takes you there..

It looks like you may have given away a 'cheat' for future 'puzzling pix'
