Thanks also to gen2 and Quinie. Almost finished now, just number 12 to go. Really appreciate all help given

[gen2]

. . . AND number 20 (Petrel is only 6 letters)

[trixie11]

Thanks for that gen2. Appreciated. Getting carried away with myself.

[gen2]

All the colours of the rainbow mix to make WHITE
so therefore WHITETHROAT

[trixie11]

Could number 20 be waxwing?

[trixie11]

Gen2, your a genius. Thank you

[quinie]
