Re: GBT Southern African List

Good luck BM cool

I think it might be too early but keep an eye out for the Fairy Flycatchers and Black Harriers.


I can levitate birds, but no one seems to care.

Re: GBT Southern African List

assuming of course that they have opened up the bottom pinic spot, as that was almost a guaranteed spot for the flycatcher - of course in June/July

Re: GBT Southern African List

Agreed Alisha... they have indeed opened up the picnic spot again, since last year November already..

I usually found the Flycatchers about 1-2 km's after the picnic spot.

I absolutely love Suikerbos in Winter... just has a lekker charming feeling to it. big_smile

Re: GBT Southern African List

Very nice Muis!

I am going through my recent records and so far I have 3 and trying to confirm a few others.

Karoo Long-billed Lark
Dusky Sunbird
Bradfield's Lark (treated by some as a sub species of Sabota Lark, but Robert's 7 life list where I tick my birds on handle them as a different species.)
Cape Sugarbird

That means that I have now finally broken through the 550 barrier and I am now on 553.
