Hi Sharifa

I am looking forward to Barry's answers
Let's see if gets another set of fullmarks
He hasn't missed one bird this year

7 out of 10 for Sky 15. I would never have got anywhere close to no.9 if it hadn't been for Sky's pointer. All those little baby BBs look the same to me!

Thanks Sky, your pointers are always very helpful.

No preasure

Well done Umtali1!

I have submitted my answers for Sky 15, and all I can do is hope for one or two correct answers!

That cute little fluffball BB is beyond my knowledge!

9/10 for me for Sky 15!

My BB was also wrong again, but I still think it is the cutest little fluffball!

Nothing lasts for ever .

9/10 for Sky 15 and selected the wrong BB mom for the fluffball .

Well done Hilda and Umtali1 .

Well done to you too barryels!

Thank you Sky! This is definitely going to keep us busy!

Hi Ducklings

Here are the answers to Sky 15 . The birds I had problems with held no fear for you , but then some of the ones I thought would be easy gave problems.


1) African black oystercatcher no problems


2) Black Crowned night heron - no problems


3) Cape cormorant - no problems I thought I would catch you with this one


4) Marsh Sandpiper - Very few problems here


5) Gurney Sugarbird - I picked this pic because the tail was hidden a few prolems here


6) Ruff - no problems


7) Cape Spurfowl and the BB was it's young


8 ) Jackal buzzard - easy one no problems


9) Red throated wryneck - I thought quite easy and a lot of problems here
To me the outstanding feature pointing me to the wryneck was the stripe running from ot's head down to it's back. The upper parts greyish brown


10) A Juvenile bearded vulture. This also gave some problems


Thanks again for everyone that entered I hoped you learned something new.

It looks as if the ducklings is either very busy or they are struggling with Sky 16

It is baby time on the farm at the moment. The spotted eagle owl has 2 chicks.
Today I also saw a Spurwinged goose with about 10 young ones, a Cape Shoveller with 9 and a Yellowbilled teal with about the same number.
