Amanda Tuke: “Spoonbill. I haven't yet seen one in London, having missed the brief appearance of one at Beddington last October.”
David Chandler: “Big with a long, snaky neck, and mid-air guano-squirting Great White Egret.”
Ruth Miller: “It's got to be Snowy Owl. Self-found as we drove across the snow-covered high fjells in arctic Norway!”
Stephen Moss: “Great White Egrets are the symbol of hope on the Somerset Levels – elegant, snow-white and simply beautiful. What more could I want?!”
…and the Bird Watching team's answers
Matt Merritt: “Snow Bunting. Whether on top of Ben Nevis, or hopping around the dam at Rutland Water, they're always a delight to see.”
Mike Weedon: “The male Smew (largely white with black bits), sometimes called a ‘White Nun’. Lovely.”
