Morning everyone and welcome to another week and another challenge.
This week's suggestion (from another member - thank you!) is colour dominos. The aim is to post a photo of a bird with the same colour, or the same colour +other colour/s as the poster before you.
e.g. Post one is a Raven (black), post two is a Magpie-lark (black and white), post three is a White-faced heron (grey and white).
Here are the guidelines. Please make sure you give them a good read before posting. I can clarify things if needed.
- The colours are for the feathers only (would open it up too much to include leg colour, eye colour etc).
- The bird you post has to have at least one of the colours of the previous bird in it.
- When you post your photo, also specify, in writing, the colours in the feathers as there is likely to be some different descriptions of colours.
- Just needs to match the general colour, not light or dark versions (though by all means, match light or dark if you want).
- You can post more than once, but there needs to be at least 2 posters in between your entries.
