Thank you Johan. This looks very difficult again.
Time to get going with it, because it might take a loooooong time to figure out the answers...  |

Thanks for posting the answers to #19, and also thank you for being "gentle" with us. I now see where we went wrong,
 Will get going on the next one now. We are also interested in your answers to Dabchicks questions. |

Am sending our answers in tonight as we are away for a few days now........... found it difficult this time, maybe because we were in a rush to finish, but whatever, it was fun, and I am sure we are going to learn a lot again.

I must admit, I found some of these quite tough to ID as well, and am expecting quite a few wrong... unless I am lucky ofcourse
 I also now know which birds I don't want to have poop on my car after I have washed it  |

Dabchick wrote Need some clarification here.. Q#1: Can I assume you're talking about South/Southern African raptor? Q#3: Longest distance in total or longest non-stop migration? Also, does this bird occur in / visit South/Southern Africa? I assume these questions are not necessarily about the birds that needs to be ID'ed? Yes Total Yes Not necessarily |

Thanks Johan!
 I am finding this challenge very... uhm... challenging... Have only ID-ed three of the six birdies, and am only sure about one!  |

hilda wrote Well done Mel123! You have reason to feel very proud! 6/10 for me! That's not bad at all for such a tricky challenge, Hilda. I changed my mind about two of the birds at the end, otherwise I probably would have had 7. Who knows with these things? |

Meandering Mouse wrote When is the closing date? Just taken out my "Birding for Blondes by Canna Catchit. Common, MMouse! There is plenty of time for your PM... I normally send the answers out late on Wednesdays, sometimes even a day or so later if a 'mite requests more time... I'd love to have you join the fun! |
