First I would like to thank Hilda for inviting me to participate at the challenge as earlier I did not pay that much attention here but after having put my first challenge together and after getting so many incredibly good answers I am also ready to participate at one of the next challenges and if time permits hopefully a bit more often - if the challenge is not that difficult of course

This is very good news Pumbaa! I am so glad I pressed on your "button" for assistance with these challenges! I knew you would love it! :dance:

I have just submitted my answers to challenge #2/2013, and can only hope for more than 2/10! :roll:

Umtali1, well done! You are doing great! :clap:

Just to inform all my fellow participants, the next challenge, #3/2013 will be posted this coming Friday, 25/01/2013, by AdrianP!

Hilda, I am sorry for not having participated in the last two challenges, but I am afraid that I can only start again when we will be back home in the beginning of March :redface:

Yup, me too :evil:

If I'd had another look at one of them after the first brief scan I would easily have seen I was jumping to the wrong conclusion :oops:

Very well done Jakkie :clap:

,and to all of you taking part.
9/10 for me. And I learnt a lesson , not to asume what the ID is on first glance while scrolling down and not looking at the bird again ( because you think it was obvious) I am talking about the Red-winged Starling which I thought couldn't be anything els but a Black Coucal
