Still in the North-East of South Africa.

Southern yellow-billed hornbill (Tockus leucomelas).

Bateleur Eagle (Terathopius ecaudatus), a young eagle still with brown feathers.

Southern Blue Waxbill (Uraeginthus angolensis).

As above.

Wood sandpiper (Tringa glareola).  Birds wintering in S Africa originate from Eastern Europe.

The purple-crested turaco (Tauraco porphyreolophus), very beautiful with crimson flight feathers...

Also very difficult to photograph, they are masters at hiding in the trees.

I  brightened this photo quite a lot to try and bring the colours out.  Look closely and you can see a tinge of red flight feather in the wing behind the branch.

Dark-capped bulbul or Common bulbul (Pycnonotus tricolor).

Saddle-billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis).

Black-collared barbet (Lybius torquatus).
