Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Silver Thinker

As for HooHook keyrings I so want a white one

Thank you @MI5

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Bronze Thinker + only just missing out on a Silver Thinker because of that bird question, which was rated "difficult".

Hope both of you like the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.

Hello @Mi-Amigo
I have listened to all the owl calls on the woodland Trust site and none are hoohook.
Hoohook is a plastic man made owl with a hook for keys.

This is a hoohook
