Are you sure about the Red-eyed Bulbul? :-?

I think so, the Red-eyed is found more to the central and Western side of the country. \O

When I try to get "geelvink" translated, it says goldfinch or bullfinch, but as those two do not exist in SA, it must be something else. It looks like a weaver or a canary :-?
