South African migrants from further away are doing more poorly. But a general pattern of decline for SA birds is best predicted by bird size (rather than dietary guild). The exception: the worst faring species is Botha's Lark https://t.co/9tcUmbmaE0

No good news for Africa’s Storks! Jonah Gula and his team report on range and population declines for most species.
