You've going strong still last night - wow!

Agree on everything that has been said so far.

Acacia pied barbet - not easy to find, but common, I think.
Southern masked weavers - same, IMO.
Grey heron - same

What about the bitterns? Never seen them in KTP.
(Same goes for most storks but that depends on when you are going...)

Black-headed heron - I'd say easy, yes. Seen some on every trip so far.

Grey heron - might be even rare, but does occur after good rains. $\O$

Peregrine is rare!

Pygmy falcon easy or common?

071 Cattle Egret Bubulcus ibis
081 Hamerkop Scopus umbretta
083 White Stork Ciconia ciconia
085 Abdim’s Stork Ciconia abdimii

these are common I think

Rosy-faced lovebird is not common, I think, they are more common in Namibia!

Dunno about the cuckoos, we should look at the BIRP sites - Diderik might be the only one common

I am going to remove our posts if the changes are agreed and done! More perspective and oversight then!
