Published by Carlton 2013 for The Official Pub Quiz Association. 224 pages
Page 19 has a couple of pen marks. See photos.
Someone split their cup of tea over page 30, it then marked all the previous pages and page 31. This has not stopped the ability to read the questions but it does impact the look of the pages. See photos.
The other 193 pages are fine - at least I did not spot anything wrong.

Listed as a de luxe puzzle but the pieces are cut so the many are in danger of losing the connecting piece - see photos. Otherwise a great puzzle to do.
If you like to crunch puzzles to break them up, you will destroy the pieces, therefore you need to take as much care undoing the puzzle, as you took doing it.

It has been a while since I posted a Friday Feathered Friend. This week it is a contribution from Louise Thomas.
"This is not the best photo of a variable oystercatcher - it's not even the best photo I took that day, but it is interesting. I noticed he/she was tagged - meet CT7. I snapped him/her in the Hutt Estuary on 12 January and sent a report off to the Banding Office as you do and got back a very interesting report about the bird.
He/she was banded on Bell Island, Waimea Inlet, Tasman on 28/05/2022 in his/her 2nd year. Sex is unknown. CT7 is a busy chap, since banding this bird has been re-sighted at Saxton Field, Stoke, Nelson on 28/06/2022 and 19/07/2022. This bird is part of a research study on the morphometrics, population trends, longevity and movements of variable oystercatchers in the Golden/Tasman Bays region.

So, if you see CT7 don't forget to report him/her to the banding office.
Variable oystercatcher/ tōrea (Haematopus unicolor). Bird #14 in 2023.
