Thank you for the quiz @Mi-Amigo 

Proud to know and see the gorgeous Female Black cap bird and the Male too ~

Lovely picture @TallTrees 

Not seeing so many birds in our garden now since we chopped down the Leylandii Conifers.

On the bright side, we have much more light in the garden now.

Thank you @Cleoriff @MI5 @gmarkj @TallTrees for your comments and posts.

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

Well done to @Cleoriff and @MI5 on your Silver Thinkers, and sorry @gmarkj for not doing as well as you hoped. And thanks @TallTrees for lovely picture of black cap, which I don`t see in my garden.

Those dense conifers are not good @Cleoriff 

 Birds 🐦  probably liked to hide in them though.  

So much rain that the birds are not happy.  Waiting for spring weather 😫

[Oxonian]

I actually did better than I anticipated @Mi-Amigo ; thank you for organising and well done to all of our participators. 😀

Great show, participants all! Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - got to say the next one's a bit more devious... 😖
