    Five again Liam. Amazed there are so many species of hedgehog. Thanks again for the quiz. Hope you have a great Christmas.

    @philparker97 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Another consistent 5/8 for me with 2 educated guesses right and a wrong guess on the hedgehogs. I got the skull wrong again although I did think Gull. The great Bustard was reintroduced to the UK near to where I live, and know well, and was newsworthy enough to read all about, 20 Years ago. I didn't know how bad it was with the turtle doves, I only know I haven't seen any to photograph, and guessed completely wrong. Another great quiz - you're doing an excellent job in wildlife education in a fun and interesting manner.

    Flippin' 'eck! I'm getting worse at these quizzes! Only 3 out of 8 this week. Kicking myself on the skull, especially as it's one of my favourite species, and I forgot about those bulky birds on Salisbury Plain. Drat and double drat! Merry Christmas mate! 👍🎄👍

  • @jimdaly5077
    @jimdaly5077 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @PaIaeoCIive1684
    @PaIaeoCIive1684 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fun Quiz! Only 6/8 this week -- I thought the skull was a herring gull and also forgot about the great bustard. Birds are a weaker wildlife area for me. Luckily, I watched another YT video about British reindeer yesterday and the turtle dove decline fact was on TV recently. Without the multi-choice I'd only have got 4.

  • @richardstory2423

    @paulcoates654 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks again Liam for another great quiz. This time I managed 5 out of 8. The skull question i thought it was a Herring gull. Merry Christmas to you and your Family. Hope for more of the same in 2025 thanks.

  • @VHKDK
    @VHKDK หลายเดือนก่อน

    Oh dear, only two right this week! Robins and Reindeers were my correct answers and I was happy to at least think the skull was a gull.
    Very saddened to hear how badly the Turtle Doves are declining.
    Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas.

  • @ellensee4660
    @ellensee4660 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    5 correct answers here ,some good guesses! I did think maybe a heron was heavier than a swan hence the right answer for wrong reason. lovely quiz ,learnt something. happy christmas to you. keep up the lovely videos ,they are just right for me!

    • @AShotOfWildlife
      @AShotOfWildlife  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks Ellen! I hope you had a great Christmas and that your 2025 is off to a brilliant start.
      Grey herons are surprisingly light, only around a 5th of the size of a mute swan.

  • @TheHoveHeretic
    @TheHoveHeretic หลายเดือนก่อน

    Four .... and only then due to the most depressing figure for Turtledoves. I had no idea the hedgehog family was that large!
    Merry 🎄 Crimblemas to you and yours.

  • @kingcurry6594

    Great quiz.
    6/8. Hedgehogs and reindeer were my downfall. I thought reindeer would have died out around the end of the ice age.
    Have a good Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous new year.

    Never heard of a Falmer (5)
    Didn't realise turtle doves were almost extinct in UK
    Remember seeing them as a child but thought because I moved to the coast was why I didn't see them since.
    Now in Cheltenham so never really thought about it.
    Have a great Christmas with the family Liam ❤❤
    Thank you for your hard work throughout the year.

    • @TheHoveHeretic
      @TheHoveHeretic หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's 'fulmar' ... which I only remember from one doing the breed's notorious projectile vomit trick on someone trying to climb the seastack "The Old Man Of Hoy" more moons ago than I care to recall!
      Falmer is the third station out of Brighton on the East Coastway line to Lewes and the location of the Amex Cimmunity Stadium. 🙂

    • @AShotOfWildlife
      @AShotOfWildlife  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Well done Paul. For the most part, here in norfolk at least, turtle doves are now restricted to coastal habitats where there is still enough food for them. They rely on a couple of plant species to feed their young which dont like disturbed habitats- usually this means grazing marshland near to the coast where no-one would bother ploughing the fields.
      I had a great Christmas and am now working my way to catch up on youtube and in my actual job. I hope your 2025 is off to a great start!

  • @bugsbunny1124
    @bugsbunny1124 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Unfortunately the only one I got right was the turtle dove. I saw 2 around 5 years ago "1st ever" here in the east of England during the "beast from the east" and I'm 60 ! Great vids, keep up the good work

    @colincgc หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not easy this week! 4/8. Maybe deserve 1/2 a point for saying “looks like a small albatross”! Watched a video on here last week with someone trying to find a turtle dove (cookie or something?) Such a shame, gorgeous birds. Makes me think about the collared dove… used to be all over the place here (Fife,Scotland) when I was growing up, now it’s just wood pigeons I see

    @graemefindsen4001 หลายเดือนก่อน

    4/8 gutted I got the sea trout question wrong, hmm what is a sea trout? different from the one in Australia, what we (New Zealand) call a Kahawai, a pelagic species , great fighter and yummy smoked with Manuka and with a cold beer of course. Merry Christmas all! Stay safe enjoy the season. kiwi.

    i do love the elton john Christmas look, though not quite sure you have the crazy streak to pull it off, did it scare your daughter, or make her laugh. i got 6 this week hope voted b for turtle doves, and i got gull for the skull

    • @AShotOfWildlife
      @AShotOfWildlife  28 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Haha, I do have a bit of a crazy streak, although most of that was burnt out during Uni. My daughter didnt see, but im sure she would have found it funny, I cant do anything in this house without her laughing at me these days. Hope your start to 2025 has been good :)

    Only 4/8 this week,I never knew there were any Great Bustards left in the uk,,would like to see some but don't know where to find them. I got the skull question wrong again thought it was a sea bird but chose the Herring Gull.Was shocked to learn that the turtle dove numbers were so low.its such a shame,hope they can recover in the coming years.Merry Christmas to you and your family Liam. Thanks for another enjoyable quiz.Also Merry Christmas to everyone who takes part in the quiz.Take Care,Happy Days!😃😀😄

  • @iain-e5x
    @iain-e5x หลายเดือนก่อน

    Managed six with a guess (hedgehogs!). Said gull for the Fulmar, and if I saw one flying I would still think it a gull. As for the Great Bustard, well we haven't had them in the UK for most of my life and except for film, I have never come close to seeing one, so I don't too feel bad about getting that wrong 😄!

  • @allanlocke5420

      Thanks Paul, it was a nice break. I hope your 2025 is off to a good start.
      This quiz was a bit trickier than those before it so dont worry if you got a slightly lower score, that just means you learnt more from watching and taking part. Cheers

    Some 30 years ago, I paid my fee then hiked up the hill to see those Reindeer in the Cairngorms. A tad pointless as it was in September and Santa was nowhere to be seen. _I didn't even get a refund!_ 🤔😲 😅🤣😂
    Me - _"Where's Santa then?"_
    Staff - _"He doesn't live here."_
    Me - _"But you've got Reindeer."_
    Staff - _"....................!!??"_
    You certainly _"Bustard"_ me for Q7 and the Mute Swan. Do you know if Bustards have been reintroduced? 😅🤣😂
    Ah! I just answered my own question. They were reintroduced back in 2004. My Bird book that I had when I was a young teenager, back in the mid 1970's, didn't have Great Bustards in it. So the Mute Swan wa the heaviest back then. _So I'll claim 1/2 a point. Though I might need to look into getting a more modern book._ 🤔😲🥴
    As for those poor Turtle Doves. They've got to migrate past France and Spain and those lot will eat anything. Especially the French. Flying. Hopping. Curled up in its shell. All fair game to them.
    EDIT
    PS - Have a good Xmas to mate ☺👍

    I got my usual 4 correct but I will give myself a half for the skull because I couldn't think of the name of Fulmar and put Petrel instead. I also knew that the re-introduced Bustard is the heaviest flying bird but couldn't remember it's name. I guessed the Hedgehog question correctly too but then changed my mind. So, a slight improvement. 😉

    Here are may answers. 1. A (Grey Partridge); 2. False; 3. 8000 years I think (honestly didn't know they were ever native to the UK); 4. False - don't lose their colouring in winter, just more likely to visit gardens looking for food; 5. It's a bird, think it might be some kind of Petrel, but don't know which one; 6. I'll take a guess at C, since there always seem to be more than I expect with these questions; 7. False, I think the Great Bustard is heavier; 8. I'll guess 75% (hopefully).
    5 out of 8 for the third time running (can I be cheeky and ask for half a point for Q5? 🤣). The answer to Q8 shocked and saddened me.

      Well done Bob- you got most of them right and explained why you were going for each answer- I will definitely give you a half point for question 5 as that was very close and I suspect a lot of the petrel skull are almost indistinguishable from one another without a detailed view.
      Thanks for taking part and I hope your 2025 is off to a brilliant start!

      @@AShotOfWildlife thanks Liam, yes had a really nice Christmas. I bet you enjoyed yours too with the new addition to the family? My score is doubly embarrassing since I have an undergraduate degree in conservation land management (though from quite some time ago, I'm more focussed on climate science these days). I'm blaming it on those being particularly difficult questions😊

      @jonm7272 yes, it was great with the baby but busy. I'm glad some calmness has returned to life after the festivities. Cheers

    So 5 on your Christmas quiz, got the hedgehog wrong the skull wrong again, although I knew it was off a petrel but didn’t get fulmar and the mute swan wrong, as I completely forgot the great bustard 😢
    I’m new to your channel so I’m just working my way back through your quizzes

    • @AShotOfWildlife
      @AShotOfWildlife  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Well done and welcome to the channel. I am going to go and try to find/film a great bustard at some point this year so keep an eye out for that. Cheers

      @davesmythies7998 20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ that would be great I’ve never seen one in the wild. I now live in Fuerteventura where we have the Houbara bustard and sadly I’ve not managed to see one of those either although I do see on a regular basis Stone Curlews and spoonbills

    I might have a Great Bustard for Xmas this year instead of my usual turkey, seeing as one would probably last me until easter. 🤣
