JUNE IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVER

[Lisbeth]

It's the only one with a black cap like that

Here are two more pics of the first bird.





I hope this will help to ID the bird.

With regard to the second one I only managed to get the one photo before he flew off.

N° 2 can only be a Levaillant's cisticola...............I think

Thanks Lisbeth. I have loaded two more photos of the black capped bird.

Love your bird shots again, steamtrainfan,

and here especially the sunbirds and raptors - Love also the hippo congress at Nsemani dam and for sure the pathon

Thanks very much Pumbaa.

Some lovely birds stf and nice python!!

I've given up on Sunset and Night drives..really don't enjoy them!

I agree with Lis about the cisticola. Could the black-capped one be a Black-backed Puffback?

Thanks so much Flutterby.

We might also give up on drives but then again one never knows.

I hope you can get an ID from the two new photos I have uploaded.

It must be a Black-Backed Puffback, female I had a doubt because it is supposed to have a red eye, but with birds you never know. It often depends on the light or the pupil is large. Also Flutterby was of the same opinion

Thanks for the ID Lisbeth and Flutterby.

According to Sasol the female has a yellow to orange eye and in the very first pic you can see a tiny bit of yellow.
