the oxpecker parents were being kept very busy and it was pleasing to see

The unknown one might be a mousebird, but maybe it is not a sufficiently intelligent ID, as they do not breed in holes in the trees :-?

I love the pics of the crested barbet taking off ^Q^ ^Q^

A very busy tree that one O:V

Those small scoundrel squirrels are adorable O/\ O/\

Hi Leachiness 0/*

Bloody hell man, what great pictures you have :-0
Just absolutely love the hornbill, oxpeckers with the cutest chicks, the starlings and the barbet in flight X#X
You saw a big fella, as it was in the north, did you see him all by your lonesome?
Great kiekies man ^Q^
