Did you find a few new birdies there?

I have seen one years ago at Lake Panic
@Flutteby - not really, only the little bittern and the green pigeon. Well, two new birds are not that bad in three days

No three! Also the spur-winged goose

So after all you are right

Very good series of the weaver busy building
I like the greenery with the Kingfisher and the fern leaves rolled up. Looks like the meal is a banded groundling.
You
are clever if you can see what that "thing" is

Then they were four new ones

I did see quite a lot of new birds
Flutterby, you have noticed better than I have
Klippie, I'll put it in the bird book

I have been looking for one of those for decades and all of a sudden I see them everywhere .....not that I mind
So true, Lisbeth,
I always wanted to see a crested barbet and it took indeed a couple of trips to Kruger until we saw our first one and then most easily during each trip since then but not only one…...
Love your malachite shots - Always one of our favourites

and also the thick billed weaver - I simply love their nests
