Thanks PNF
So I learned something new this morning and yes, it was about birds... I had to look closely to see the difference
So what is the difference between a Southern Bou Bou and a Swamp Bou Bou?

The Swamp Boubou has a pure white underside whereas the Southern Boubou has a rufous tail, underbelly and flanks.

Roan, I'm very bad with my English cause I don't have a freaking idea what rufous means...

I am not sure if it is correct, but I think rufous means reddish-brown.....

That's correct Meerkitty.
Just returned from Bloemfontein. I will never complain about the winter up here in Limpopo again.

coming from another Limpopo resident, that comment brought a smile to my face. I can also complain about the 'cold' but there are places where i will not go to simply because of the cold. i cannot handle the cold. get quite grumpy and moody.



i also think that is what rufous means.

Sorry my book said cinnamon-so I guess its brown
Then Roan you are IT

Roan.

Ok, an easy one. .Which bird is the smallest in SA?

Bronze and Red-backed Mannikins (9,5cm)??

I`ve actually got another one. But those two are also mentioned.

Not one of the waxbills??
