IanA Posted 12 July , 2007 Share Posted 12 July , 2007 As a quarter of the questions featured gee-gees in some form or other, and my ignorance of that mammal is encyclopedic, I answered 'Dobbin' to most questions. Seemed to work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Clay Posted 12 July , 2007 Share Posted 12 July , 2007 The combined sound of the 'baa'-ing of the former and the 'chirrup'-ing of the latter is enough to make grown men tremble.

squirrel Posted 12 July , 2007 Share Posted 12 July , 2007 Suppose if Woodpeckers did go around in a group that is what you would call it. Depends on the species I suppose. Never seen more than two Great Spotteds at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
