1 plural suffice of animal family groups
2 Oak ,beech ,hornbeam
3 Brazil
4 Sounder
5 three deepest harbours
6 Blackthorn

 

[Dawsie]

Uptonogood, you have two correct answers, have to be more precise

2. Oak, Beech and Hornbeam
3. Russia
4. Sounders
5. three of the deepest natural harbours in the world
6. Blackthorn

[SCC]

So just to clarify, SCC has questions 3,4,5,6 correct and very close to number 1.
Question 2 was previously answered correctly by Frank & Uptonogood - Oak, Beech & Hornbeam.
