Good luck Zellie, because afterwards you won't be doing too much birding for a while - ask Trevor big_smile

Dunno about that BK, I dont see that we cant still go birding as a family, no problem loading baba into the car and taking a nice day out to "somewhere" to do some birding, Pretty sure between myself and DD we will juggle the baby and the camera.lollollol!!

LMGA.

Zellie my little one does not really watch birds, but from a baby she has regulary joined me for a day out. I think the first time i met WTM in WSBG i had her in a backpack on my back.

She actually asks me to go birding - to either have a drive with me, or to get me out of the house for a night so she can hop in bed with mommy.

I just realised that i am the skootbrakkie of a pixy!! hmm lol

Re: GBT Southern African List

Zellie, the first thing you buy is one of those daddy slings, baby is strapped to daddy's chest, leaving his arms free to hand you the camera.....
Langkat was 4months old when we took him on his first holiday to Tsitsikamma, and 30years later we still remember the horror!!!!!
(he has calmed down considerably since) wink

Re: GBT Southern African List

Nice man!

I am having my longest dry spell of not getting a single lifer now. A month and 3 weeks since I ticked Red-footed Falcon. Things are not looking good. neutral I will be lucky if I can get 10 lifers this year to compile a top 10 for 2012. lollollol
