Bird Quiz Recently, in my garden, an immature raptor was found dead beneath a tree in which there are several nests. How the bird died is a mystery upon which you may speculate, but its identity can be more conclusive.

There are two candidates, and both adult species are illustrated. Identify the two adult raptors and decide which the young bird is related to and why. On a bird walk not long ago, I came across two black birds. Between them was a bird that I recognised as a female Black Cuckoo-Shrike. One of the two male black birds is her mate, the other is not.

Which is the male Black Cuckoo-Shrike and what is the identity of the other bird?
