Thanks for the extensive list Ferdelance.
I really need to get my list in order by the end of the month.

Thanks for the heads up.

Wow, it couldn't be further from the truth for me. I think you're doing a sterling job. In fact, I feel bad because I don't update my list as religiously as I should (haven't gone through new ticks from last week's bird club outing yet).

Joshilewis....which bird club is this?!

Wits Bird Club

Hi Joshilewis

Me too!! I probably met you on the outing

Ferdelance - I agree. You are doing a great job

I have also not updated my list since April and have added 7 new species since then to bring my total up to 374

New Species: Acacia Pied Barbet, Crimson-breasted Shrike, Cape Teal, Black-winged Stilt, Black Cuckooshrike, White-throated Robin-Chat and Yellow-billed Egret.

26 more to go to reach my 400 target

Hey there! Was it your first club outing? (I remember there was a chap Trevor who was introduced as a new(ish) member).

Hi Joshilewis

It was my third outing - still recovering from all the mozi bites!! At least I managed to add 4 lifers

Nice, well done! Yeah, big pity about the mozzies. Fortunately all my bites have disappeared!

Perhaps I'll see you both on the Outings then during June and July when im back from varsity!

That would be cool Have you already planned which outings you're going on? (I haven't looked at the calendar for June/July properly).

I also discovered at the Tswaing meeting that the leader is a lurker on the forums (she recognised my handle from my email address).

Thanks for all your hard work with the list, Ferde.

RJ - so sorry, I forgot to answer you..... check your mail.
