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
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
both gray squirrels and black squirrels are normaly found in the same place at the same time but there not as common as the non black squirrels. theres also leucistic squirrels aswell. again they arnt as common as non leucistic squirrels. both non black and the black gray squirels were introduced from North America which is there native range. -
native means a species is in a country it origionates from. it has allways been in that country and not from any other country.
. a non native species is one who is from a different country to the one it is currently in
for instance the california poppy can be found in many places all over the world but its home - where it origionated from is california. in california it is a native species cause it was origionaly born there and its allways lived there. in other countrys it is considered a non native species cause it didnt come from those countrys and it didnt live in those countrys.
the gray squirrel both black and leucistic and non black and non leuictic havnt allways been in the uk which makes them not native (non Native) species
if a species has been brought over to a country it didnt used to live in by any means its called introduced. the gray squirrels are not native to the uk and they didnt come over by themselfs but by human infuence so they were introduced here so they are a introduced species in the uk cause they were( brought over) from north America years ago.
nope not a coal tit. you got the first one right though. Blue tit dont have a black hood whereas Great Tit also known by the scientific name parus major do. coal tit also has a black head. if you look at the wings on the back which is sort of a clue though you will see that they have some green abouve the wings and bright blue wings. it also has a bright yellow tummy. coal tit doesnt have blue and greenish back and wigs which the coal tit dont have.
another clue is that coal tit - periparus ater
have grayish wings with 2 white wing bars whereaas Great tit also known by the scientific name parus major only have one white wing bar on the side of the wing
yes. its a squirrel so your correct on that one. in the uk theres 2 well known species of squirrel gray squirrel and red Squirrels. red squirrels are now rare cause they used to be in the same area as gray squirrels a long time ago and the red squirrels caught a disease they are susceptable to from gray squirrels and due to things like competiiton for survival and resources the red squirrel population dropped and became rare and the remaining red squirrels arnt in the same place as gray squirrel anymore cause they cant be in the same place for the above reasons. red squirrel populations are in scotland and down south on brownsea island. where I sighted the squirrel is where you wont find any red squirrels. red squirrels are all red whereas gray squirrels are all gray with some red (aswell) gray squirrels also dont have tufty ears whereas red squirrels dont. but you are correct you two it is a squirrel
