That is one very colourful selection of birds. Even the half-one is nice .

Great additions again! I especially like the three-banded plover and the crested barbet. Super report on your blog also, @Dave Williams! I tried to add some comments ( positive as far as I can recall ;)), but they never appear even after I've logged in to my Google account.

Nice bunch. Fairly Rattling along. Geddit?

lovely additions and that orange breasted bushshrike looks stunning - wish there was a full shot of it, but I'll have to rely on others' less stunning shots.
