Kinabalu, Sarawak

[Welsh Peregrine]

Just a query - shouldn't I get one for being first to Ethiopia? Not that I'll be a contender, as too many lists get posted when I'm not on line.

 

[Andrew Whitehouse]

Am I allowed to say Kinabalu, Sabah? And add that it's in Malaysia?

 

[scary-canary]

Am I allowed to say Kinabalu, Sabah? And add that it's in Malaysia?

If you're allowed to say it, even though it's already been said, can I say it too? and add that it's in Asia?

 

[Andrew Whitehouse]

If you're allowed to say it, even though it's already been said, can I say it too? and add that it's in Asia?

You can say that if you like. My point is that, I think, Kinabalu is not in Sarawak (as David said) but in Sabah. I was hoping I might get something for greater geographical accuracy!

 

[csanchez7]

Well, I am not sure what to do in this case! Although David Kelly did get the location right (Kinabalu), perhaps he said too much by adding Sarawak? It should be Sabah, as Andrew Whitehouse stated. Would giving david the 6 pts for the exact location and 3 pts to Andrew Whitehouse for correcting the region be fair?

I also gave Welsh Peregrine a point for getting Ethiopia.

[Welsh Peregrine]

Looks fair to me. Kuching! (Couldn't resist!)

All I can add perhaps Saanich

 

[Reuven_M]

Victoria airport

 

[Larry Lade]

Same here (Victoria, B.C., Canada), Andrew beat me to it!

Saw those birds (except the Sky Lark) when Brenda and I were there quite a few years ago.

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

Love the description of the site in Kingbird Highway

 

[ClarkWGriswold]

Okanagan valley, BC.

[csanchez7]

The full answer was Victoria Airport, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Andrew Whitehouse gets +6 pts, but Reuven_M does deserve some kudos for getting it down to the airport (super precise) location level. And JoanT got the peninsula right. Six pts for the three of you? What say you?

You're in a generous mood today Carlos, but that's fine with me!
