Rainbow Quiz - Autumn 1996 - The Birds and the Bees

[wiggers99]

Still working on this old quiz. Half the answers contain a bird's name and the other half simply begin with the letter B. Just one left and this one appears to be a bird's name.
74. And a roundhead returns to the church (5)
Thought it might be Pipit, tip reversed, but not sure about the pi bit.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Pi - maybe pious, holy ?

Is a Rotch a bird?

[quinie]

It's in one of my books and I thought it fitted. -r(first letter of roundhead,returns to-ot church-ch. I must admit I've never heard of a rotch!

[Mamyalynne]

got it yes, normally spelt 'Rotche'

quinie,
Absolutely brilliant! Never heard of that one, an alternative name for the Little Auk. Just goes to show you never stop learning.
Many Thanks.
