Great quiz, although tough for us North American types. Need one for this side of the pond, I guess. Can you accept Northern Harrier for Circus cyaneus? (That's the official AOU common name over here.)

Long eared owl (A. otus) and short eared owl (A. flammeus) are in the wrong order

Is there a reason Goshawk isn't counted? I've always assumed they were native to the UK and have seen them here - so not sure whether their omission was an oversight or whether they're actually an introduced species or something :)

This quiz is not great at all, you're missing several UK birds of prey. Goshawk, white-tailed Eagle, red footed falcon, Montagu's harrier, honey buzzard, rough legged buzzard. This quiz really needs updating.
