Pullus Verraux's Eagle Windy and rainy weather out there, here in Finland. Good excuse to practice some remote birding. I decided to go to South Africa this time. See what I found :) Pullus Verreaux's Eagle ( Aquila verreauxii )! And bit later an adult arrived to nest too. In addition to those, some unidentfied bird sounds... At least some Swift, sounded like Eurasian Swift (Apus apus) , but I can't be sure about it yet. Also sounds that reminded me of Starling and many odd sounds...

But, at least some identifications: 1) Water Thick-knee (Burhinus vermiculatus) - at Nkorho Pan, new species, #81, for me, good start! 2) Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) - two in the pond at Nkorho Pan 3) Common Swift (Apus apus) - flight calls at Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden, Roodeport, #82 Water Thick-knee in front and two Egyptian Geese 3) Helmeted Guineafowl (Numida meleagris) - calling loud somewhere close at Idube, new species, #83 4) African Scops Owl (Otus senegalensis) - calling far at Elephant Plains, #84 Off to bed att 22:30, looking forward to morning ;) 24.10.2013 ...
