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.

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!
