25/04/2020 A change from lock-down photos and a return to South Africa

These are photos that I did not publish previously as they were not particularly good, but I needed a change from the garden!!

Natal spurfowl or Natal francolin (Pternistis natalensis)...

As above, not a good shot but it helped with ID.

Red-crested korhaan or Red-crested bustard (Lophotis ruficrista).

Saddle-billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis).

Southern yellow-billed hornbill (Tockus leucomelas)...

As above.

Yellow-billed storks (Mycteria ibis).

A family of Bateleur eagles (Terathopius ecaudatus). Looks like this pair successfully raised two young.

As above.

Emerald-spotted wood dove (Turtur chalcospilos).  The only record I got of having seen one!

Namaqua dove (Oena capensis) male.

Red-headed weaver (Anaplectes rubriceps) female.  Sadly I did not get to see the male which truly does have a redhead.

Steppe buzzard (Buteo vulpinus).
