Thanks everyone, I don't get the connection between Q5 and Wheatear though?
Mistle Thrush, excellent!
Owls? a Football team nickname?
Jackdaw, I can't get the music man to fit, Jack, yes, but then you could also have Jack Snipe, but still no music.

Wheatear, now fully grasped!! (Doh!!)
Jackdaw, Now that was news for sure, good one!!
I have to go with Capercaillie rather than Skylark (which is an excellent Idea too) for 7, Caper and caillie, very good.

Blackcap, so obvious once it's pointed out!! Thanks.
Fieldfare too.

Which leaves just three to get.
4, 6, and 14.

Many thanks indeed to all!!

[Avian]

Aha! I solved 4, Pheasant.

[fordward]

6 Quail

Anthony Quayle won a Tony Award in 1956

do you like it

[Avian]

Oh Yeah! I think you are on the mark there Fordward, smack on!!

Cheers.

[Avian]

Fast moving Liquid is all that's left now, All I can come up with is Shearwater, but cannot make the connection between Shear and speed, so I am dubious as to its likelyhood.

[Marsh]

Could 14 be Roller (various kinds of birds and a long heavy sea wave)?  Sorry I wasn't around to explain wheatear � busy taking down decorations

[Marsh]

Or then again,  petrel.  (petrol) or stormy petrel?  I'm not convinced by either but felt I should suggest them.
