Lancaster and District Bird-watching Society quiz. Winter 2000

PEG RETURNS IN WOLF-FUR !

"Seek arcane facts" was the sibilant motto painted on the iceberg. Nil remains to be seen, of course, red to ochre colours wash again and again, licking letters out of existence. Sniff up as soap-lovers wallow in scented seas, a sort of god- withering, hero-negating tonka-toy sensation. Just one chat about alert epicentres of mellow heat, earthy and stone-varnished, makes the hulk rot. So, the sun rising rouses tilting, secret ikea-stores as, in a death- rush, barrel-lorries of rampant rats, deranged in crisis kingdoms drat sub-standard dosser-inspired ten-nil victories. Dismal lard-factories run by crooks and liars nicking fish erupt itinerant stellar kings. UN bird expert Jay Bush chats swiftly about war, Bleriot and kindred startling topics as we veer, yawning into a huge rut.

Luv, Ray

(Obviously I missed my vocation as a Pink Floyd lyricist. However, tell me how many "Western Pally" birds are hidden in there, and which bird appears twice ?)

a) all answers are hidden words or reversed hidden words; no anagrams or cryptics.
b) a few answers only give the generic name (e.g. 'sparrow' as opposed to 'House Sparrow') and in at least one case this is relatively obscure. You have been warned!
c) answers must be in by February 1st at the latest & in this respect they can be handed in at the January LDBWS meeting.
d) the first correct answer drawn out of the hat wins, not the first correct answer received.

There is a prize for LDBWS Members, claimable at the next meeting.

For non-members: No prizes but Ray can be contacted at hobbsray@hotmail.com
