Sorry guys, I've got hundreds of bird photos on my hard drives and I'm trying to sort them out now. Here's another bird that I can't ID - the photo was taken in the Jao area, Botswana, 2006.

@@africapurohit This one is a Squacco Heron.

Thank you @@Kingfisher Safaris - I didn't know where to start looking with this one!

 

I wouldn't class myself as a birder but I always enjoy taking photos of them. I've noticed that I've accumulated so many bird photos over a few safaris - which is why I'm contributing to (flooding!!) the birding section of Safaritalk.

@@africapurohit I'm no expert myself but there are so many different species in Botswana that you just can't ignore them. The Heron I know well as i spent a lot of time in Linyanti when the floods came 2008/9 and there were many of these around. Didn't manage to get any decent photos like this though.
