    Night call near Paris

    Sparrow and Sunbird - Pretoria, South Africa

    Hi, 1. I first thought that this picture I shot near Pretoria in March 2014 was of a female Cape Sparrow. But its supercilium seems to expand to its forehead, which is not the case on my Birds of Southern Africa field guide. Was I wrong ? 2. Same place (near Pretoria) : I can't tell what...
