November 29, 2023

One of Africa’s leading field ornithologists, Michael Mills, has shared some fantastic sound recordings with us - thanks Michael! Many of these are of really special birds and remote places from all over Africa: Angola, Gabon, Tanzania, Chad etc. Some of 24 new species are African Hobby, Mottled Swift, Green-headed Oriole, Silvery-cheeked Hornbill, Green Barbet and Pallid Honeyguide. Plus 2 new penguins: Kings on South Georgia and Littles in New Zealand (by James Lidster). I managed to record the deep chuk contact call of Eastern Nicator with my phone - it has been added to the existing recording. We’ve also added clips for many sought-after specials: Cape Rockumper, Grey-headed Parrot, Brown-backed Honeybird, Dusky Lark, Terek Sandpiper and many others. I added Sclater’s Lark and some other things from a recent Northern Cape trip, plus a huge flock of Namaqua Sandgrouse that has to be heard to be believed - check it out. One of the most exciting additions are calls from Roseate Terns from a new breeding colony that Etienne Marais discovered at an undisclosed location. Overall, FIRERINCH now has high-quality sound clips and sonograms for 757 species. As usual, Anton added loads of great new photos.

  • So far so good

    Just downloaded the Flock to Marion version, and it looks good! This will be a GREAT help on the cruise.
