Hi again . Here are the wetland birds that I challenged you to recognise from just their tails. How did you get on? Some were harder than others but that way we all learn a bit more about our feathered friends. Percy Parrot
Grey Wagtail. Not to be confused with the rarer Yellow Wagtail which is more yellow. Taken from my bedroom window on the flooded kitchen roof. 
Grey Heron taken on the boating lake in Nottingham University Park (Highfields) 
Kingfisher on the stepping stones in Highfields boating lake. 
Mandarin Duck seen on the lake in Wollaton Park, Nottingham. 
Common Snipe at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham. Usually well camouflaged against dry vegetation. 
Cormorant taken on the boating lake in Nottingham University Park (Highfields) 
Egyptian Goose taken on the boating lake in Nottingham University Park (Highfields) 
Lapwing taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham. Commonly known as Peewit after its distinctive call. 
Mute Swan taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham. One of many that frequent the reserve.
There will be another quiz again soon. Meanwhile keep a look out for summer migrants.
