[granny grump]

Thank you quinie x3 vegasmad, jules001 x2 Have to think about 12 both answers sound pretty good
Just left with 29 & 42

[Jules001]

actually I think song thrush is a much better answer than mine, well done quinie, I would go with that Granny Grump.

[egglers]

28.pigeon

[granny grump]

thank you Jules001 will go with that and Egglers for your help

[Misstee]

the Eider is a river in Tonning, Germany which flows into the north sea.

[granny grump]

Thank you Misstee but why 'mix'

[quinie]

I think 42 has to be linnet. Scored 50 might be another bird

[egglers]

29.eider

[granny grump]

thank you quinie I'll get back to the drawing board

[dxhound2003]

Agree 42 is Linnet. Here is a suggestion from 2007 for Scored 50

[granny grump]

Thank you dxhound2003 - I will mull it over - but not now I.m off to bed goodnight all

[quinie]

grannygrump, after I went to bed I had an idea for Scored 50 Could it be Golden Eagle? golden from fifty years married and eagle a golf score.

[quinie]

29 Perhaps the compiler made a mistake, thinking the Rhone is in Germany.

[granny grump]

Thank you for that quinie - really good answer I hope tha it didn't keep you awake - but Golden Eagel doesn't fit the number of letters - but I like your thinking on the Rhone. Thank you again
