Misstee I need another shot at Q2 to try to make amends for my earlier blunder!


The answer is BLACKCAP = a warbler and also a cap worn by a judge before passing sentence of death (by hanging)


By the way, I have never met the meaning of "goose" as used in Q6! We DO live and learn.

Thank you all for the answers so far. I'd never have got Subbuteao and Blackcap...!


Crofter: Curious as to whether we may be neighbours of sorts - lots of crofters in these 'ere parts.

I have just been reading the answer "Spruce Goose" - so this GOOSE theme is recurring!


In response to your query, I live in th next valley to the Bronte's Vicarage.

Crofter: And a lovely area that is too. I got it wrong - I'm a fair wee bit further north than you.


I agree about the geese though - seem to be getting everywhere...!


Thanks for your help though.
