Hi Amoli.

Thanks for sending the Heron pic through large size. It's a Goliath Heron. (The head and neck are uniform coloured and not striped as in Purple).

Agree with others on the Sabota Lark.

I'll have a look at your last two pics in a moment.

[Dewi]

Amoli,

The first one looks like one of the Cisticola's. Most probably Rattling?

The second one is a Marico Flycatcher.

liquid for me

[Amoli]

Thanks for all Dewi - especially the Goliath.

I have filed so many bird under the Marico heading - if it beige or brown...zip into the marico file.
Then one day I take them out and I start doubting my choices.

Thanks.

[Toko]

Dewi!

[Amoli]

I have just posted my last pics... I think..

Thanks to all for all your help
