Africa Wild

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

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

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?

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

And who the hell is DBB when he is at home

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!
