232. Drakensberg Prinia, Thendele, 27/2

 

This bird is distinguished from the much more common Karoo Prinia by the light yellow wash and the significantly less degree of streaking on the breast.

It almost goes without saying that you should feel free to challenge any of these classifications - it's a nightmare family to distinguish

240. Desert Cisticola, Thendele, 1/3

 

This is the one that I'm least confident about.

It is not yet the end of March and you already have more birds than I got in the whole of last year!. I particularly like the duplicate photo of the Neddicky - lovely photo and a very appealing name.
