Baby Spitter

Postby rolandslf » Tue Mar 24, 2009 7:58 am

Good Morning All

Here are a few Pics of what I think is a young Mocambiquin Spitter, please confirm for me.
Caught in Umhlanga Durban, please advise a good release area you Durbanites.

My apologies, Photobucket is down for Server Maintenance, will post Pics as soon as they come back up.

Yip that is a young spitter. They are usually pink or light orange underneath

I grew up in northern Zululand and it is actually good to hear the term Mfezi again.

It was caught in Umhlanga Rocks at a school, I will release it at a very bushy area I know of away from humans.
You don't want to perform a rescue only to have someone kill it later on.
