Eye quiz
17th January, 2026 | News & updates
I decided to promote the huge milestone, i.e. the filtering function (because I really think it is a huge thing) also on facebook in few bird ringing or ID related groups. And to get some attention I decided to accompany the post with a picture of eyes of several bird species (basically tha same you can see below the menu). And quite a few took it as a challenge and tried to identify the birds. So I decided that rather than replying to each one of you (I am sorry, but I really appreciate it!!! <3), to make a list of "correct answers". Below is the picture and below the picture are correct answers.
