Thanks terry.

I'll look at 816 again, but the 'n' is there because it comes after 'm', so I'm not sure.

In the meantime, please can someone explain...

811. "American Indian girl's partner and Dec's mate's mistress" looks like it should be 'Squamate Antbird'.

BUT WHY??

If your R is worn is could be heron

Thanks Helena.

My R is a bit worn :(

No.481: "You French, Me English" (3) = 'tui'. Made me smile.

most people fall into the trap of thinking tear one's hair out = bald eagle. The answer is actually blackcock. A little souvenir I picked up during a holiday to Egypt. It itches so badly you can't stop yourself tearing out most of your hair(s). Hence the link with the bird of the same name.

whoops typo (honest)

Have you got Mountain Thrush, Helena (765).

Helena,
I think the correct spelling is Hoopoe.

Is it my tern to answer? this chick is going to bed and knot bladder anymore my eider(down) is calling.

Not getting involved any more as it may descent into the Panda fiasco!

....and I thought I'd been drinking!

After ducking out, I hope Helena sleeps well.

In the meantime, a bird name:

288. "terry's latest posts could be so described" (7,4)

Both words begin with 'c'.
