I came up with this idea cause of a frequent visiter when i was away
guess who this is?
maybe another time. im going to do another guess who for everyone
Would you like any more?
yes it is.
As I said earlier. I am not very good at this, and I am seeing this as a fun opportunity for you to identify animals that I have taken pictures of over the years.
Are you right?
This also qualifies for your 'funny' thread because it looks cute holding it's nut.
if your talking about the brownish one with the blue stripe then my guess is Jay
well done evryone even though you didnt all guess correctly you did very well. games like this can be not just fun but educational. it takes time to learn how to identify birds so dont exspect to allways get your guesess right strait away you have a couple of gueses
easy ones to start with and some great easy ones is Blue tit cause all you need to remember is blue head.
for the great tit if seen from other angles like its back and not from the tummy. the wings will be blue not gray. and the second thing to look for is the head. black head not blue. Blue tit and great tit, Robin,Blackbird are good ones to start with and there very easy to learn
when Great tit is seen from the front unlike all the other Tit it has a black stripe down its tummy. this is a exstremely distinctive feaature.
males have a broad black stripe. females have a thin Black stripe.
thats correct. well done. you were the first one to get the answer right aswell.
you are correct.
Great Tit
thanks. and thanks for the thought. its just that I left so many clues and it would of been all too easy for it to reveal weather it was or not cause of that and there wouldnt be much point in me acompanying a photo for the answer if someones already added the photo to the thread of the whole bird. if it was only half of the bird with the part of the bird hidden that would of been differant cause it wouldnt be as revealing. its just cause it would be all too easy for people to put two and two together in this case - both photos of the great tit along with the description I gave that already just about gave it away.
thanks. thats good you dont want to ruin it for others. in this situation if people have seen my comment with the written description of the bird in my post and how theres only one option left theres could well be some that already have an idea themselfs regardless of weather they just simply guessed or looked up the term or knew what it is.
the thing is that im going to be revealing the answer with an image of the whole bird and not just in word form
Iv just been waiting cause I want to make sure others get a turn aswell.
im going to be revealing the whole bird when I post the answer after the guesess when i do a guess so will be revealing the answer to the bird in the post before moving on to either someone elses guess who game or my own.
great tit is an easy one like blue tit and neither can be visualy mistakened for any other species. blue tit has a blue head and the other doesnt even though they both have yellow tummys and blue feathers. to keep things as fair as possible for those who are just guessing it would be preferable to try and guess based on any clues i or another person has mentioned but I can understand the tempation.
if I say yes or no to am I right under the photo above I could potentialy reveal it to you before revealing it so I hope you dont mind but with the amount of clues Iv given I cant answer it in this case. I will be sending the answer very very soon though cause the game has gone on for a long time.
after iv sent the aswer then il go on to the guess who thing you have sent for us
So, the only clue I will give you now is that it's head is on the left above the bit of picture.
I can't do this without cheating and using Google.
(Removed picture in case it spoils for others(
I think that I now know what bird this is myself. Am I right? I don't want to ruin it for others.
sure
When this round has finished, can I do one for you? The difference will be that I won't know the answer, either. If that's OK?
to make it easyer on everyone there is only 2 options it isnt Blue tit. Blue tit has a blue head rather than black.
its not coal tit. coal tt is all gray just like marsh and willow.
its not the other members of the tit family like long tailed tit. the long tailed tit is named after its long lollipop stick like tail
it is also black and white with a white tummy
it isnt bearded tit bearded tit has brown wings and white tummy with a gray head
all the other Tit above in the tit family are the wrong colour which leaves only one tit left
this last option can only potentialy be comfused with the blue tit
for instance theres only 2 species in the Tit family that have blue wings
Blue tit
Great tit
but is very easy to tell apart
its the head that is the absoloute giveway.
Blue tit has a Blue head
Great tit black
so we know Blue tit is very unlikely cause it has a blue head. coal tit is unlikely cause its all gray and plain.
the bird in the photo has a black head
blue wings
Bright yellow tunmmy
greenish yellow on its back
one white stripe on its wing - not 2 stripes or 0 stripes.
guess who it is
you were very close with coal tit. it isnt any of the other birds from the Tit family its just great tit or coal tit so its one of those two
Coal tit is exstremely unlikely cause its got completely gray feathers and back all over and its tummy is pale and not yellow. it isnt very colourful but instead rather plain and so doesnt have any blue feathers on its wings or even any green on its back at all.
the great tit is colourful unlike the coal tit and it has a black hood and blue wings with some greenish yellow on its back. its also only has one wingbar whereas the coal tit has 2
which one do you think it is?
Bearded tit ? No wrong colour ...
Hmmm I really can't think....
both willow and marsh tit have a black hood but they have gray wings and pale bellies rather than yellow and unlike great tit and coal tit they have no stripes at all on the side of the wings either. this helps sperate them from the coal tit and the great tit.
the other 4 Blue tit, Coal tit and marsh and willow arent the answer if I go through Blue tit Great tit and coal tit to help you out abit
Blue tit has a blue hood completley white face and bright yellow belly and blue wings,
Great tit has a black hood and bright yellow belly but the thing to look for is that it has 1 white wing bar on the side of its wing and bluish green on its back and wings.
Coal tit has gray wings like willow tit and marsh tit but while the great tit has only one wing bar, willow tit and marsh tit have none
for seperating coal tit and great tit one of the differances from the Great tit with a black hood is that the coal tit has 2 wing bars and the great tit only has one
well done though
have another look and have a second guess
