[Flutterby]

Can't stand it when people use these in SMS's and I have no idea what they're talking about!!

It is absurd People are convinced that they are always in a hurry

Now you have a list, Flutty

Now you have a list, Flutty

yes, but it does not help much for birds :

FYI
BBB : Black-Bellied Bustard
BHO : Black-Headed Oriole
RNL : Rufous Naped Lark
GST : Ground Scraper Thrush
GEO (AKA VEO) : Giant Eagle-Owl (AKA Verreaux Eagle-Owl)

And we can probably find many more of them IMO LOL

[Lisbeth]

Definitely! But they are even worse than the mammals, because of the quantity and ofte loooong names Let's leave the abbreviations out, shall we?

[Flutterby]

The only birds I abbreviate are LBJ's, LBR's and maybe BSK's.

Back on topic.....
There is a measure of truth to this article though.
I avoid these game drives if I can. But we did one at Mabalingwe a few years ago. And there was a chap on the van who was the epitome of this.
Every time we stopped for something, he would launch into some story of "oh yes, when I was in Chobe we saw a massive herd of buffalo...." ...yadda yadda yadda. " last time we were in Kruger we saw.....".......
At every sighting

Hey, us opinionated know-it-all's also have a right to exist!
