[TheWinner]

Not saying its right, but 32 might be a "sound alike"

Bark reversed sounds like Crab ???

[Frank97]

13, B-rambling ?

[TheWinner]

8. Insect ???

[ubasses]

3 Beagle (long thin channel chile/argentina)

[KUSTARD]

Surely 13 is Nuthatch. It HAS got a blue back and is a member of the Tree Creeper family (Hiya Winner if you're still there)

[Frank97]

That does look better than my idea, Kustard.

[KUSTARD]

I love your dog Frank. What is it?

[TheWinner]

hiya kustard, How are you, nice to hear from you. I just have to nip out, will be back soon.

[Frank97]

He's a cross between a Staffy and a Dogue de Bordeaux. :-)

[KUSTARD]

OK Thanks. He looks a real character. I laugh every time I see him.

[elliemay1]

gg, could you please repost the ones you still need as it's difficult to see when scrolling. Thanks.

[granny grump]

Thank you all for your help

The first letters of all the answer spell out a bird an amphibian and a fish


The letters that I have for the bird are;

1. ?
2. E
3. B
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?
7. H
8. I
9. M
10. M
11. E
12. R

Which I think must be Yellow hammer - so Q1 needs to begin with Y Q3 & 4 with L and Q6 W Unless there is another bird with hammer on the end
I think that Q8 is now aphids.

Q13-22 gives the letters NATTERJACC (the second C is Caterpillar Q22 but I can't fathom another answer beginning with K)

[Ouzel]

1. Could be Yaffle (another name for the Green Woodpecker - there is also a Greater and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker)

[mazie]

1. Yaffle ( European Green Woodpecker)
