Awesome pics Duke and Amoli $\O$ $\O$

Great cuckoo sighting and in flight - and - with the longclaw as well - brilliant

The weavers and bishops are so photogenic - very pretty Duke

Amoli, love your pics and stories!! $\O$

Flutts, and I am jealous about Amoli's Diederick Cuckoo sighting and also the Red Backed Shrike

Great pics, especially the last one! $\O$ Just a pity that bird is a myna, instead of a cuckoo or a shrike!

My sentiments exactly Flutts about the Mynah

The Red Bishops were out in full force on Sunday...everywhere you looked there was a flash of red....

...and quite a lot of yellow in between!

Southern Masked Weaver

Also lots of Red-collared Widowbirds.

Then a first for me at Rietvlei...a Diderick Cukoo!! $O/\$ $O/\$

With some breakfast.

Looking sweet!
