Sheer Loonacy

A "Teaser" wooden puzzle made by Stave featuring a common loon (Gavia Immer), known in the UK as a great northern diver. This species inhabit the far north regions of Europe and America and the adult birds carry their chicks on their back.

The puzzle has been cut round the design outline and has large drop-outs. Additionally there are over a dozen young birds which must be fitted inside them. However some drop-out areas remain so it is difficult to work out their exact positions and place them correctly. There are also some shaped pieces on an aquatic theme.
