Exercise 3 solution (sample answer)

The labelled parts in the chapter: beak, head, iris, pupil, mantle, coverts, scapulars, tertials, rump, primaries, vent, thigh, tarsus, feet, belly, flanks, breast, throat, wattle, eyestripe (20 in all).

Sample description: "A small bird with a short pale beak, a dark eyestripe and a streaked breast. Its mantle is brown, its rump is pale and its tarsi are thin and pinkish."

The exact bird does not matter; check that you used at least five parts correctly and described what you could actually see, not what you assumed.
