"Flapped" Lark dumped

and Dewi is still our super birder here

[Amoli]

I have another two birdies who is being filed in the archives without names..

This heron I took a long time ago and it was out of range for my little lens..
Not sure if it is a Goliath or Purple.



even if I crop it, I am not sure

[Amoli]

... and this was on a overcast day

[nan]

Amoli, I would say a Goliath... seems to be big for a Purple and has a very large beak
you are very active in this thread

[Flutterby]

Is the last one a Sabota Lark?

[Toko]

I think Amoli's heron is a Purple, - to me it has black, not rufous cap, but one should crop more and look at the head

[Toko]

Is the last one a Sabota Lark?

Might be

[Amoli]

Is the last one a Sabota Lark?

I just looked at the Sabota and it could quite easily be. The reason I took the pic was because it's call was different to the Rufous naped lark. Let's see if others agree.. and thanks.
