Yolande, Chat flycaycher would be out of range....This looks a lot like a Familiar Chat, and if it did a fair amount of wing flicking, and has a orange tail..(Unfortunately the pics dont show this)....Then Familiar Chat it is :thumbs_up:

This little chappie was under the shadecloth in Twee Rivieren. When he settled, he would 'flex' his wings once or twice.

Please help me ID this bird: I think it might be a Familiar Chat,
Seen at Suikerbosrand , in the picnic area. It is a weird little bird, it came all closer to me, and after I took it's photo and moved to the other side, here they were again, walking everywhere I went?? :shock:

Hi all,

This lbj is probably so ordinary I can't find it in my SA guides (don't have a SA field guide :cry: ).

Thanks for the help.

Bas

Spotted at 2200 meters in Golden Gate NP.
