    I’ve decided to remove painted snipe as I’m fairly certain it was in fact a Latham’s Snipe. I would also like to add fairy martins (Petrochelidon ariel). So the number remains as 151.

    Sorry for another late message, I don't use ZC that much anymore. :oops: Are you referring to the South Africa- Wildlife gallery?

    Yes, the South Africa Wildlife gallery thanks. That would be excellent.

    A very late addition to my 2019 year list!

    The shrike that I saw has now officially been accepted by the authorities as a Red-tailed Shrike (Lanius phoenicuroides)!
