Kuskor Big Bird Weekend Quiz 2020 by Colin Bates
Posted: Wed 06 May 2020 1:21 pm
Like many other events worldwide the Kuskor Big Bird Weekend is unfortunately cancelled because of Coronavirus. However there is no need to completely miss out because we are transitioning our annual BBW 2020 quiz from the usual Villa Lembos venue in Dipkarpaz to an online Facebook and Google Groups event!
Keeping to the original BBW dates of 8th, 9th and 10th May we will be posting a round of fun quiz questions each evening for the three days. Open to Kuskor members and guests you don't need to be a bird expert to take part (although all questions are bird related), if you enjoy general knowledge and cryptic puzzle solving then this quiz will probably suit you. Mostly for fun (which means we don't have to give prizes!) there are just a few basic rules -
Questions will be posted on the 8th, 9th and 10th May between 18:00 and 18:30 hours UK time (20:00 to 20:30 hours Cyprus time).

Answers to each round to be sent to Colin at kuskorquiz2020@btinternet.com
Include your name or team name in the subject line.
The use of search engines, books/other literature, ask a friend (or any other methods of cheating!) is not permitted and you MUST declare your compliance when submitting your answers.
All answers will be the English name of a bird recorded at least once on the island of Cyprus.
Only one email from each entrant or team will be accepted on each date
Colin's decision is final (even when he's wrong!)
No prizes just prestige...
Maximum team size 3 persons (teams can communicate with each other by Skype, Zoom etc.)
Spelling of the clues will often not be grammatically correct!!
To give you a flavour of the quiz a sample question is provided. With this question you need to find the name of a bird found in Cyprus by simply looking at the picture(s), this will be the same format for the questions of the first round on Friday 8th May.
Good luck to everyone and remember the quiz is open to anyone who wishes to join in.
