Guess the Map IX: The Richese are no match

[Goodfella]

Some sort of fertilizer application? Or some sort of pesticide?

 

[Pangur Bán]

'Natural world', not agriculture.

 

[Borachio]

See. What's remarkable about NW Scotland that doesn't apply to the rest of the mainland?

The only thing I can think of is rainfall.

 

[Gelion]

I'd guess its to do with a distribution of a species, but I cannot figure out which one. I also thought about bird migration areas...

 

[Pangur Bán]

Yes, Gelion, much warmer now.

 

[Kyriakos]

Dinosaurs?

 

[Arakhor]

Ethnic membership in the Varangian Guard?

 

[Kyriakos]

Ethnic membership in the Varangian Guard?

No way, cause ENGLAND 1066

 

[Domen]

Distribution of aurochs at some point in time ???

 

[Borachio]

Merino sheep?

 

[Takhisis]

Why is the Nile valley included?

 

[Borachio]

Papyrus. Don't ask me why, but if it's a question about the river Nile, the answer is invariably papyrus.

(Cue joke about denial.)

 

[Takhisis]

Please tell me you're one of the few worthy who actually appreciate that font.

 

[Borachio]

'S OK. I can't see anything to hate about it.

[JohannaK]

I do like it.

 

[Pangur Bán]

Gelion was correct about the type of animal.

 

[Borachio]

Where'd the map go?

Ah, there's the little fella:

Is it a migratory bird or not?

Is it the range of the White-winged Flufftail Sarothrura Ayresi?

 

[Pangur Bán]

It can migrate within the zone, but is all year across the orange zone; the pink bit indicates an area where it only occurs in the summer.

 

[Borachio]

Is it the Arctic tern?

 

[Gelion]

Gelion was correct about the type of animal.

Awesome! Although my knowledge fails me to be able to guess further. As a wild guess, I's say its some kind of Parus.
