Guess the "wildlife"

[Noodley]

OK, today I was out with my younger daughter and she was asking me questions about the widlife in the fields. I was so obviously not on the same wavelength as her...so as a 5 year old:

Daddy, what's that? the thing that looks like a clown in a suit with a red nose..

 

[Keith Oates]

You should go easy on the red wine, Noodley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[domtyler]

A local alcoholic land owner?

 

[Noodley]

C'mon I got the answer...try harder

 

[Keith Oates]

Too early in the morning to get the thinking cap on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Noodley]

Too early in the morning to get the thinking cap on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aye, I tried that..but she was insistent....just after 10 o'clock this morning she asked

I have now tuned into a 5 year old brain as a result...

Oystercatcher?

 

[buggi]

greater spotted woodpecker

 

[Keith Oates]

OK, I'll try harder. The red nose is a birds beak, am I close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Noodley]

Oystercatcher?

Spot on

Well done!! You are a great father

Next one:

the thing with a green face and sticky out bits..not the local drunk

 

[Noodley]

Oystercatcher?

seriously that is good

 

[Crackle]

seriously that is good

Probably lucky as I've been trying to photograph a few lately and that description just fitted them to a tee.

The green face has got me stumped though

 

[Keith Oates]

Greenfinch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Noodley]

Greenfinch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nope.

But that was my first guess as well.

Green face, Sticky out bits, 5 yr old ...... Heron?
