The icy birdbath

Tricky Birds gathering at a frozen birdbath, a kettle of warm water and frosty seed heads.

A frosty garden morning: a stone birdbath with a skin of ice and a crack, birds gathering on its rim and on the frosty grass, tall seed heads, a holly bush, a garden bench with a kettle, a bird feeder pole, footprints and a pink sky.

Find the five differences

This pair has a different number of things, a changed shape, something added or taken away, something moved and a new pattern. Compare the two pictures and tap each change in either one.

  • No timer to beat, no penalty for wrong taps.
  • Zoom in for small details; pinch works on touch screens.
  • Hints and text clues are there if you want them.

Opens on Saturday 12 December, when it’s the daily pair. Every daily opens on its day, the same for everyone. Until then, try a practice pair or a past daily.
