Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   Typical mixed "winter" flock with several species. I suggest submitting another two "duplicate" records using photo two, which shows a flock of Southern Red Bishop with a few Red-billed Quelea (red bill, plain head) and Pin-tailed Whydah or two (red bill, head with black stripes).
