Re: 2012 Gauteng Bird Challenge

Going to try and get Horus Swift, Fiscal Flycatcher and African Paradise Flycatcher today in the Randburg area which should push my list over 70.

For those of you who are wondering why my total is so low at the moment its because i want to try and tick off all common garden birds in the Johannesburg region before i head out into the northern and southern reaches of Gauteng.

Re: 2012 Gauteng Bird Challenge

Hi Batty

I am on 88 - thanks mainly to a quick visit to Marievale on Tuesday.

Is this for the wider Gauteng region (100km radius) or must it be in Gauteng borders?
