Mpumalanga Bird List

Excuse me if there is already a topic with this title, but looked and couldn't find one.
ANYWAY....

With a few recent additions to my Mpumalanga list I have now moved from 485 to 490, and sadly that does not even push me up a spot on the Zest for Birds listing.

Another 3 to go to move up a spot. big_smilebig_smilebig_smile

Re: Mpumalanga Bird List

Ja, it gets really tough to add a new species, but i have a few more that i should be able to add with relative ease. Just need to get to the right places. big_smile

Re: Mpumalanga Bird List

Thanks WTM, its been a while since I was at Kaaschehoop, and when i was there my focus was more the Blue Swallows and the Striped Flufftails.
I will have to get back there for some of the above mentioned species.
You see why i call them easy birds to add though.
Just need to find that Cape Eagle Owl at Dullstroom.
The Black-necked Grebe is a little trickier though.

I haven't been keeping provincial lists very long - my Mpumulangan list is lower than my NW Province list, can you believe!!
