Birds
Banghoek Twitchers: to keep our bird list fully updated, could you inform us when you spot any names that are incorrect according to scientific ornithology listings.
Once again we have Tony Robelo (iNaturalist app) to thank for creating for us such a wonderful space to learn about our Banghoek birds and also to become a part of a world body of 1.8 million naturalists for mapping and sharing nature.
Our thanks to him for creating Banghoek’s own space on the app for our flora and birds. Please take part in this exciting project by photographing and uploading your observations. Banghoek Projects on iNaturalist here
