6 could be either grass or sedge- they both work

[burnhal]

and swallow works for 1

[olivia]

thanks burnhal you're a champion, re the tussock......warbler   there is also

goose...... snake, which I took to be grass, so do you think that sedge will apply to the tussock question

[burnhal]

I will go with your grass snake so go for sedge on the tussock one!

[olivia]

thanks for your help burnhal

[smouse]

I've got fly for house and spider

[smouse]

and sea for marbled and campion

[olivia]

it was house and orchid, smouse does fly still apply

[smouse]

well I think so and I've double checked so suppose you can have either what about the marbled campion I cant see where white fits and so am happy with my sea

[burnhal]

a marbled white is a butterfly- a white campion is a flower!!!!

[burnhal]

And.... a spider orchid is a common enough orchid- but then so is a bee orchid, fly orchid and wasp orchid- so spider or fly will fit.

[burnhal]

so back to marbled and campion- your sea cannot fit- the question states it must form a species..... and a marbled sea is not a species!!!!

[smouse]

Theres a marbled sea snake and a marbled sea bass so isnt that same as having a marbled white something

I know it doesnt matter but i like a debate - lol
