What's that bird?
Re: What's that bird?
OK, here are the answers to the first challenge.....
1. Shaft-tailed whydah
2. Cape canary
3. Yellow fronted Canary
4. Bronze mannikin
5. Pin-tailed whydah (non breeding male)
One person got all 5 correct at the first attempt.
Everyone else got 4 out of 5 correct on the first attempt, then 5 out of 5 on the second go.
Although I mentioned on the first post that the winner would post the next challenge, we may reach a stage when the winner does not have enough photos to post a quiz. Volunteers for posting quizzes may be required, or someone to supply photos for future challenges which either I, Toko or Amoli could post. Have a think about it and make suggestions so we can continue this one. It was also suggested that even if an "easy" bird pic was posted, a question could be added about some aspect of the birds lifestyle, habitat etc. to make it interesting?
Let us know what you think.

And I'm supposed to find out who they are?

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
