    I think it's 12 😉 On the other hand, I have a cold right now and it's possibly playing tricks with my eyes :bug: :yuck:

    It's tricky. I think the answer is 10. I've uploaded a large version with my answers circled, if anyone cares to check. Adele, I'm intrigued how you get 12. The male pheasants are easy. The females almost disappear into the background. And did you spot the rabbit?

    I get the same 10 as you Words, fancy that! Do I win a prize? Huh? Huh? :p

    (I'm not competitive, honest :whistle:)

    Vulpes, it's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part. Yeah, right! 😀

    Adele, I wouldn't be surprised if I've missed one. In another frame I spotted two rabbits at the top of the picture.

    I voted for 10, too. But only after seeing the larger image with the answers. Thank you, Words… 😀

    Well, I was honest enough to tell it ! 😀

  15. Words December 21, 2008 at 2:12 pm #

  21. cakkleberrylane December 22, 2008 at 1:12 am #

    Just below the green anc about 1/4 of the way from the left side. I warn you…. my eyesight is terrible. I could be looking at anything.
