Still had time for some great new birds on the Angola list

Bird of the day Sokoke Scops Owl

Although we made good progress on the Angola list, we did digress too South America and Kenya. I have a special love of Owls and it's rare to get a photo of a new one. So I was thrilled with the photo of the Sokoke Scops Owl http://worldbirds.eu/abcs/sokoke_scopsowl.htm by Megan Perkins. Here's a few more birds for our wish list:- Slender-tailed Cisticola, Cloud Cisticola, Black-throated Apalis, Masked Apalis, Buff-throated Apalis, Brown-headed Apalis, Black-necked Eremomela. If you can help, please do so.
Thanks for all your wonderful support, yesterday alone we had well over 200 photos
