It's that time of the year again, and so, by popular demand (I think Richard mentioned it once), the Po Toi Christmas Quiz.
Ten Flycatchers to identify from my Po Toi occurrence charts. Some easy, some definitely not. Here they are, in a random order

As I am away next week, I will give one clue - they are all 'true' Po Toi Flycatchers (i.e. migrants).
The usual rules and prizes, only one attempt allowed, editor's decision is final.
Prize - the Title 'Bird Brain of Po Toi' (probably in perpetuity) and a free night on Po Toi (not including dinner) in January.
Good luck

Once again the title of 'Bird Brain of Po Toi' goes uncollected.
2012 had a great second half, albeit with a sad end to one of the best birds of the year.
Whatever the cause, let's hope it will not stop individuals reporting their findings here for the benefit of others.
Happy New Year to all
