Dabchick, this was a great learning :thumbs_up:

I have gone to have a look at my hooded vulture in "Best Birding in Kruger". I see that they are relatively rare compared to some species.

In my book, published in 2005, I think, it says there are about 65 in Kruger. They are thought to follow Wilddog and Hyena, so that they can get onto a kill as soon as possible. Compared to other vultures it is rather small... and bullied.

It certainly got everyone buzzing. Now why didn't I go to "Best Birding" sooner?

Challenge #3 August 2012

Unfortunately this will be my last quiz, so I included some extra pics to ID, I hope you don't mind the mega quiz.

So for this weeks challenge I'm posting you pics of some of the wonderful birds we saw down in Groot Brak-river over this past long weekend, the town is situated about 30 km west of George. Enjoy :thumbs_up:
