3. The sandpipers

[factor-fiction]

Sandpipers is probably right- but please can you explain the link to "Scotopacide family ". Thanks

[supersuezy24]

scolopacidae in dictionary.com came back with :

noun
sandpiper family: sandpipers; woodcocks; snipes; tattlers; curlews; godwits; dowitchers

[factor-fiction]

Ahh, so the clue should have said SCOL... not SCOT...

[supersuezy24]

I'm very sad...I'm chuffed with myself for getting the Roxy Music clue haha..

3. I have checked with the author of the quiz and there is been a spelling mistake. It is, in fact, sco(L)opacide family. Thanks 'factor30' and 'supersuezy24'. The quizz was in aid of the BEMBA charity and has done extremely well.
