Re: Vote for South Africa's Bird of the Year
Thanks Nick, just wanted to say I enjoyed voting on this one and appreciated you sharing the link.
Contention is now between Black Harrier and Botha's Lark, and I must admit I couldn't resist voting for the magnificent Black Harrier. Not to speak ill or our New Zealand and Australian Swamp Harrier, but that Black Harrier is a very handsome bird!
