The THICK-TAILED BUSHBABY, also know as Brown Thick-tailed Galago, is one of six primate species in South Africa. Can you name the other five?

The last bird ringing with James Rawdon was a big success so we are repeating the exercise from 25 to 27 June.
… and I will be around to take bird and ‘guest with bird’ pictures, and help with bird photography questions.
Don’t miss this weekend and get up close and personal with our birds 😊
