 PUZZLES

Welcome to the second birdsearch of the Natural History section’s Puzzles page. This one contains 34 warblers which belong to a large grouping of birds called ‘Old World Warblers’. These small birds exist on every continent except South America and Antarctica. What they might lack in colour they make up for with their distinctive songs, which aid in identification.
