It was cloudy and breezy with the greens scarified and slightly slow.The Bush Blackcap was beautifully colour coordinated, topped with a jaunty ribboned Homburg hat. We must welcome back the Black-cheeked Waxbill (R. Wallbutton) and, newly, a fledgling Bronzewing Courser (B.Coomber). With 38 points, the Slender Bulbul (K.O'Brien) beat the Golden Oriole, the Buff-spotted Flufftail and the Tawny-flanked Prinia who have all featured previously. The Ring-necked Parakeet excelled this week in crisp buying, helped by the Serinus Scotops (A.Hannigan), the Crowned Crane, the Pied Wagtail and last week's winner, the elderly Bronzewing Courser who was blatantly readjusting his handicap! |
