Hi Ducklings

Here are the answers to Sky 10

1) Southern Red-billed Hornbill
It killed this insect (don't know what it's called) and the swallowed it all in one go.
It looked quite uncomfortable afterwards



2) Grey crowned Crane - no problems


3) Brown headed parrots seen at Girivana near Satara
we've seen them there just about eveytime we've visited the waterhole


4) White Backed Vulture


5) Red-breasted Swallow


6) Blackwinged Pranticole


7) Female Amur Falcon


8 ) Levaillant's Cisticola


9 ) Female African Stonechat


10) Red-capped Robinchat


and the BB
an African Pipit

Thanks SKY.

That insect in pic nr 1 looks like some kind of centipede (Honderdpoot) to me.

And the one in pic 2 is clearly a tick.

Cheers

Sky#11 - 9/10 + BB

Well done Micetta!

Thank you, Hilda

If I had followed my instinct instead of my brain, it would have been full house

.... But we never learn Micetta! That's why I have decided NEVER to change my first instincts ever again!

Next time I'll try to remember.........and if then....?

Was out of action for the past week but back from today.

Well done Micetta



8/10 for me

Thanks Sky

Sorry Sky, I am not able to do it this week. Just too many things to do before leaving for SA.

I hope to find a decent broad band connection and will re-join in 2013

A very Merry Christmas to all my fellow Ducklings
