How on earth did you ID the lark?
The lark was displaying....climbs steeply with trailing legs in aerial display, clapping its wings and then parachutes down giving a long ascending whistle . The ID was the easy part,...capturing the photo was another story.
Very happy with the Harrier find as well. :)

Are these still the present scores? I am off to Park on the 26th...I wonder if there is a new bird waiting for me there. :)

Wow, Michele
Have a great time and bring us some nice birdies (and I would be very happy to see some insects, too

Re: Kgalagadi BIRD Challenge - Fun & Drinks
Thank you ...I am hoping for some birdies but I also don't mind photographing insects . I tend to stay far away from them and use my 600mm lens ...especially those jumpy flying things. :)Klipspringer wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 1:30 pmMichele Nel wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 12:58 pm Are these still the present scores?
