Carrying on...

The Southern Red Bishops were out in full force....

..as were the Red-billed Queleas.

Common Moorhen

A curious Common Waxbill.

Yellow-fronted Canary

Cattle Egret

Longtailed Widowbird

A far-off Steppe Buzzard.

An African Purple Swamphen - a first for me.

Pied Starling

White-browed Sparrow-weaver

And that was it. A very enjoyable morning and I'm sure I'll be back.

Very good pics, Flutts!

Aha! A gallinule!

Don't some of the others have good old names too?

Haha... poor cyclists... being discriminated over the birders.

Thanks for the info!

And for more great bird sightings.

Cyclists are a menace on the roads!
