1.You’ve visited a public restroom with binoculars around your neck. :yes: :yes: binocs, cameras, i-pad...

2. You’ve voluntarily visited a sewerage farm.
:yes: :yes: including the dump at least once a month

3.You’re known to brake (with no warning) for tits, bishops and chats. :yes: :yes: flat spots on the tyres...

4. In nature reserves, you often confuse other visitors inquiring about what you’ve seen so far. :twisted: :twisted: We use to say "Bee-eaters!" now, "Oh the leopard just disappeared... "

5. You’ve got a “Birding, Please Pass.” sticker on your vehicle. 0- 0- we don't have one on our vehicle, but I've bought them for friends who's really birds crazy!

6. You’ve done high-speed birding on a highway. :yes: :yes: and just last week near Carltonville/Potch road we've spotted Northen Black Korhaan twice! and on the Platinum a Long-crested Eagle the other day!

7. You keep extensive and organized bird lists. :yes: :yes: I even keep a "Birdie Journal" of what I see in our garden and next to the road, I wright down behavior and what and how much they eat...

8.You plan your holidays around birding spots. :yes: :yes: Oh yea, the whole reason to go anywhere... and it's time go somewhere where I can hear the Woodland Kingfishers ASAP!

9.You have more than one bird guide.
:yes: :yes: How about 35 plus books and everything digital, plus magazine subscriptions.

10. You’ve spent good money to see a rare species. :no: :no: nope, this we have not done yet... I like to be surprised.


So if it's not 10 out of 10, I need no rehad ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^
