I found all the birds this time but still can't find two of the nine in the other puzzle.

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

I got "that" one when someone dropped the hint that it's often used in crossword puzzles... my mum is a crossword fan and I remember picking that word up years ago while helping her! :wink:

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Enid was very clever to put nine birds into a sentence! It's one of the best of those puzzles I've ever come across! :-D
