A lifer for me... Yellow-crowned Bishop

and first time in Rietvlei - a Diederick Cuckoo putting up an aerial display (think the activites in the sky rubbed off on it.. :-0 )

Image

Image

Image

and then by pure luck, a Cape Longclaw came flying past....

Image

Did I have a sighting of the day... They were all special... but the Red backed Shrike was beautiful.. O:V
