Hi, I am new to South Africa and new to the Bird Forum. What a beautiful country! We moved here in February and the creative juices started flowing! I have been requested to make a wall hanging involving cross stitching (with beads) 12 South African Birds. So far I have completed the Bateleur Eagle, Purple Crested Lourie, Narina Trogon, Woodland Kingfisher, Heughlin's Robin, Lilac Breasted Roller, and Southern Red Bishop. I am unable to find photos of the following birds, and was wondering if anyone had photos they could donate to the cause: Purple Gallinule (AFRICAN), African Hoopoe, Black Collared Barbet, Orange Throated Longclaw, and Gorgeous Bush Shrike.

Your photos would be appreciated! I am happy to give credit to you for the photo, and will email you photos of the completed birds.

Thank you.
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

I have a photo of Orange-throated Longclaw, I'll find it out for you and send it to you when I have the chance.
If theres any other birds, let me know, I have a few on my website from a trip last year if any of those are any good. Just click on South Africa photos at http://members.lycos.co.uk/jameseaton

all the best
