[quote="Sky"]Hi Ducklings

Here are the answers to Sky 16
I said Don't be fooled by what looks obvious.
If I showed you this pic for nr 3 It would have been very easy


The other birds that gave some problems were nr 1 , 5 and the BB
1 ) This bird is a Southern black flycatcher . The size and colour of the eye will rule out a forked tail drongo


2 ) Greater Double collared sunbird - very little problems here


3 ) Immature Southern bald Ibis


4) Viloet-eared Waxbill - no problems


5) Female Cape rock trush - The clouring on its breast distinguis it from the female Sentinel rock Thrush


6) + 7) No Problems here
White-necked raven and a Cape Vulture


8 ) Brown Hooded Kingfisher


9) Southern Pochard


10) Pin tailed Whydah



and the BB a Juvenile Buff streaked chat. I also had to consult Johan van Rensburg to get this Id


Thanks again for entering

So, I got my scores! Thrilled to bits!

Hatchlings: 7/8, and the the wrong one I only had the wrong sub specie

Ducklings Sky 17: 5/10 + the BB, and two of the wrongs ones I also had the wrong sub specie

Now to figure out my mistakes, the fun continues!

Thanx Sky for all the hard work so we can have fun!

BTW, what does "BB" stand for?

BB is for bonus bird.

got 6/10 for ducklings but got the bb correct.
7/8 for hatchlings

Highland and Super Mongoose, well done on your hatchlings, and not too bad for the ducklings! Keep on trying and enjoy!

Louis Dreyer, well done on both!

I got 8/10 for Sky 17, and believe me or not, my BB was correct for a change!

I managed 7/10 for Sky 17. I was so sure I had the BB right at last but alas.......

Well done Umtali1!

Well done Hilda and Umlati1, THATS GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!

9/10 plus the BB also correct for Sky 17. One of the birdies had me totally baffled . Just could not get the correct ID .

Awesome Barry, well done man!

Well done Super Mongoose, louis dreyer, hilda, umtali1 and barryels



The juvenile bald ibis had me fooled
