Sugarbird, Sunbird, Bulbul, Oystercatcher, Prinia, Warbler etc etc.  I'm sorry I don't know the Afrikaans names.  Scottulus may have a sugarbird in that case (or a Mynah!)

We went for a listen to Daniel's system last night, to compare his Mars Phono 9 against the SACD format. He felt his phono was too bass heavy. I took some photos of his system:

After some enjoyable Duke Ellington we decided on a plan of action re. the Phono 9. We checked the Phono 1 as well, and was happy with the noise levels. It needs more bass though. More tweaking to be done.
