Kgalagadi BIRD Challenge - Fun & Drinks

[Mel]

The shape of the head and also of the eyes as well as the size of the beak makes me think tawny.
The barring is indeed cause by the branch and you can't see the legs properly because it's kinda crouched.

Thanks for adding the entry numbers, Ex! Makes the adding much faster

Oh... and it seems I must find some new birds... rare ones on top of it

[ExFmem]

I must start taking pics of birds, or visit at a time of year when the migrants/waterbirds are around.

[Mel]

The birds are not the major problem but the migrants are

[Lisbeth]

The buzzard is a real beauty

[Mel]

Not much to add here, but two older sightings:

I assume this is a long-billed crombec

April 2019 at Urikaruus

And I suppose a wood sandpiper
