Yellow-throated Bush Sparrow - Gymnoris superciliaris

Post by GlosterBirder »

Hi
I was back in South Africa at Sabi Sands/Kruger N.P. last week and I have some species of which I have either a poor pic or in some cases a good one and still can't arrive at an ID. Some of these I know what I think they are but I don't won't to pre-influence people. Can you help again please?
