23/11/2021 A few more photos from South Africa

 My thanks once again to Christelle for these photos.  I have so many photos of my own to catch up with, but it is taking so much time trying to find the ID's of many.

This little fellow flew inside the house, when Christelle caught it to take it outside, it was in no hurry to leave her hand.
Southern double-collared sunbird or lesser double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus)...

A rare sighting of a European Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus), they breed in the Palaearctic region and winter south to the coasts of Africa. Not just a rare sighting but also this one only has one leg...  Seen in the Eastern Cape.

01/11/2021 Christelle's trip to Addo National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa

 I have masses of photos from my last two trips to bird national parks here in France but I still have not had time to go through them all and work out IDs.  My thanks again to Christelle for taking these photos and sending them to me with all the details that I require.
