I read that the Budget birders (https://budgetbirders.com) Ross and Melissa Gallardy are doing a trip to Africa Dec 19-Oct 20.
No details of their plans as yet that I can find.
Set me wondering what is the current year record for the continent?
I looked at eBird and the recent highest list was circa 1250.
Arjan Dwarshuis added 1,374 species on the continent during his global big year in 2016 - but I am not sure what his overall list was.
Both seem a little low.
Based on their normal approach - I would guess that they will beat this total and as they use eBird we should be able to see progress (albeit on Clements taxonomy)
