Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo for a great quiz.

As for trembling, I learnt that from a jeweller (I kid you not) I took a charm bracelet in for repair. One of the charms was a Finch, which I understood....then he told me the other collective name for finches was a 'Trembling'. Thought he was a mad know all until I checked it out

Thank you @pgn @MI5 @TheresaV @Cleoriff

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

Well done @pgn @MI5 @Cleoriff on each getting a Silver Thinker. Sorry you were not so successful this time @TheresaV but hopefully you`ll like the categories for Monday`s WRQ and might bounce back

Interesting how you knew the answer to the "group of finches" question @Cleoriff

Love the "botty jelly" @pgn Only you could come up with that - and a gif

Thank you @LukasB and @gmarkj

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting your Thinkers.

Maybe @LukasB had a "lucky" week - I don`t know. But, as mentioned, the admin competition is now wide open, so remains to be seen what happens on Monday
