Two clarifications to the quiz questions:

>2) Which passerine's normal range covers the largest area? Land only visited
>   during migration doesn't count, sea doesn't count at all.

Introduced birds do not count, so forget House Sparrow, Common Starling etc.

>9) Many birds breed in the northern hemisphere and migrate to the southern
>   hemisphere for the rest of the year, name a land bird which breeds
>   in the southern hemisphere and migrates to the northern hemisphere.

What I want is a land bird where *most*, not just some, of the population
breeds in the south and migrates to the north.
