Love the splish-splash sparrowhawk, but the paradise flycatchers are just adorable!

I took a trip to WSBG on 3 January. It's ridiculous that they only open at 08:00 - half the good light has gone already 
We spent about 4 hours there, leaving on the dot of 12:00 and just missing the massive storm that hit us about 15 minutes later.
Unfortunately the eagles weren't at home but there were a few other things to photograph.
Lesser-striped Swallow.
Helmeted Guineafowl with tiny chicks.
Kurrichane Thrush.
Spotted Border Butterfly. Correction : Common Dotted Border Butterfly
The waterfall. The two eagle's nests are visible - the first is under the overhang at the top of the picture and the second is below and left of the top nest.
NOT a Common Tigertail Dragonfly.
Masked Weaver.
A Triffid? It has a huge red flower that hangs over and faces the ground.
Another huge scary wasp.
Cape Weaver.
Koppie Foam Grasshopper.
One of the Acraea Butterflies.
