Last chance before I have to send it off.
1)Dr. Spock sleeps in daytime
2)Lot of a person easily fooled
3)White frost and part of measurement
4)Goes under sailor metal or wooden rod
5)Use at Christmas time
6)Cattle, sheep etc.----
7)Sounds like empty barrel
8)Some have a Beatle hairstyle

1) Long-eared Owl

i like the answer....but hate the clue

Dr Spock is "child rearing expert"
Mr Spock is "long eared"

still i think Crofter is (once again) correct

[janeevans]

Thanks Crofter I can count on you.

8) could it be the Vultures (in the Jungle Book)?

8) there is a canary called the Gloster or Gloucester -depending on who you are- my dad used to keep them. It has a set of feathers on its head that were and still are called a Beatles hairstyle

2) Some sort of GULL (hence a gullible person)

5. Robin

Hi Jane - Crofter has asked me to pass you this message as he does not have Internet access (temporarily):

3. Hawfinch . . . 'hoar' + f(part 'of') + inch
5. Snow Bunting

. . . and maybe, but not definite:

2. Twite ?
4. Boatbill ? Jackdaw ? Jacksnipe ??
6. Stock Dove ? Fieldfare ?

Hope this info is not too late for you Jane - only just managed to get online myself. Good Luck, ja
