Geocache Description:

The cache is not hidden at the listed co-ordinates. These are dummy co-ords which are close to the 'Spring Gathering at the White Crow' event on 24/03/07. The cache is within walking or staggering distance of the pub.

The cache contains an unactivated Pengy & Tigger coin as the FTF prize.


The puzzle is in two parts. In part 1, you need to identify the species of 9 birds from their sounds. The bird sounds are given in the table below (click on the links Bird A, Bird B etc.)

In part 2, you need to identify the 9 species of bird from their pictures, and match them with the sounds you identified in part 1.

You should then have a link between the letters (sounds) and the numbers (pictures)

The final cache is at N53.36.(B-E) (H-J) (D+F)  W002 37.(C+D) (G-H) (A) 

The 9 species are somewhere amongst this list: Barn owl, Bittern, Buzzard, Coot, Cormorant, Corncrake, Curlew, Gannet, Grey Heron, Jackdaw, Kestrel, Lapwing, Merlin, Nightjar, Oystercatcher, Pheasant, Puffin, Rook, Starling, Woodpigeon 

It may help if you fill in the table below as you identify the birds:
