Photo Competition!

[Hawkmaster]

I have been approached by an anonymous falconer that would like to offer £100 to the lucky person that guesses the correct Latin names of both parents of the 2 day old bird pictured below.

To enter your suggested names you must submit it by Buying a ticket and paying £1 by Paypal, here is a button link:
https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=Hawkmaster%40eclipse%2eco%2euk&item_name=CFF%20%26%20IFF%20Photo%20Competition%20 0707&amount=1%2e00&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&currency_code=GBP&lc=GB&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF&charset=UTF%2d8)

Each week the names will be checked on a Friday night and if there are more than one correct entrants, those folks names will go into a hat and a draw will be made.

All funds raised will be awards to the Campaign for Falconry on behalf of this person and the IFF members!

You are permitted to guess as many times as you like via Paypal and each week I will add more photo clues if it is not guessed correctly!

[Hawkmaster]

As of yet we have absolutely NO guesses at all, so if you are the one to step up and guess you can get it right and be the winner of the £100:supz:

Here is the next installments of pictures and the bird is now 7 days old here.

[Hawkmaster]

Here is the next photgraph to try and give you all a better chance of guessing!

14 Days old now.

[VerticalStoop]

Can we take it that this is a hybrid then as you are looking for both latin names? If it were pure one would do. Have I got the wrong end of the stick again?:oops:

[Hawkmaster]

Even I have no idea but as the guesses come through I post them to the UNKNOW person that is putting up the prize money!:D

[Hawkmaster]

Here is your answerI did see the question relating to the 'it must be a hybrid as 2 parent names need to be given' Not necassarily, it was worded that way so as not to favour pure bred or hybrid. It could be a tribrid or quarterbrid or purebrid!!!!!

[Hawkmaster]

So far we have had no correct answers but here is the next set of pictures now at 21 days old.

[Hawkmaster]

Here is the next installment of pictures!

The youngster is now 28 days old!

If you do pay for a guess people please PM me your answer of include it in your Paypal payment notes please!;)

[Hawkmaster]

We still have NO correct answers!
Here are the next set of picture clues!;)

[Alf]

I paid a £1 but I dont know how to vote.

Alf.

[Alf]

I have just realised you need to pm your answer. Don’t everyone jump on my guess hoping to be in the final draw I know much about eagles as I do playing the Piano. :rolleyes: Alf

[Hawkmaster]

Well done for trying anyway!

Here are the next set of pictures and here the bird is 42 days old!

Remember to PM me your answers after using Paypal!:D

[Hawkmaster]

Right here we go 49 days old and now we should start getting some answers Come on people this is for £100!:supz:

[Hawkmaster]

No problem guys guess as much as you like but I will only submitt answers to the £100 prizer giver, once the pound has been paid.

Remember that ALL proceeds will go to the Hawk Board:D

[Hawkmaster]

THREAD CLEANED UP!

And here it the next set with the bird looking absolutely magnificent and now 56 days old.

[Hawkmaster]

Here are the last photographs that will be put up of the bird and quite frankly I am surprised at the lack of entries we have had.

So far some brave souls have given it a go and nobody has it correct.

We will leave the competition open for ONE more week, so get in quick and let us know what you think the answers are?:supz:

[Hawkmaster]

Any answers left on this thread without payment will be deleted.

[Sarah J]

Are you just teasing us???... Stop keeping us in suspence :)

[JedT]

what is it then Paul,jed

[Mark Collins]

What Was It ????????????????

[Unknown]

Hi All
Paul seems to have vanished, for those who are enquiring someone called Chris (Quiver) submitted the correct answer first which was Golden eagle X Ornate hawk eagle.

[PrinceOfTheWesternDesert]

could see it,, but didnt believe it,,
wow,, what a monster

[Quiver]

WOW, me a winner :oops:

got a good friend who keeps saying the cream will come to the top eventually.

chris.:yawinkle:

[Icarus Fell]

At least a Goldie x OHE makes more sense than a Steppe x OHE.
I was wondering if some one had taken a leaf out of the mad professor from South Park's book and created a Steppe x Ornate on the way to a 5 assed eagle monkey!!
Now, the question is how does it fly and hunt?

[Lenka]

I thought so!!! I thought so!!!
What a beautiful beautiful creature:) I am curious what is the wingspan, flying weight and if it is for sale:heart: or at least if the owner is breeding them for sale

[Hawkmaster]

The WINNER is Quiver and I will let him tell you his answer!:supz:

Well done matey:lol:

[Quiver]

Hi All
for those who are enquiring someone called Chris (Quiver) submitted the correct answer first which was Golden eagle X Ornate hawk eagle.

hi paul, unknown has already done it lol, it was banwell that put me onto it by saying it was a ornate x steppe, but with steppe eagles the gap on the birds go to the back of the eye and not in the middle, so thats why i chose goldie good guess i suppose.

chris.:lol: :lol:
