Lovely shots!

 

But I suspect your Hornbill is an African Grey?

Grrrrr you are absolutely right @Peter Connan

yet another one off of the score....

[Peter Connan]

Sorry.

[Galana]

Another nice selection. WF BeeEaters are lovely and I like the in flight Palm Swift.

As I scrolled down I was bracing myself to tell you about the Grey Hornbill but when I got here Peter had done it so I did not have to worry.

Keep em coming.

Thank you for sharing your lovely photos of these birds! I will share this thread with my husband as we plan our next trip! I appreciate that you also added information about the location, camera equipment and settings, and bird identification. 

[Galana]

Marching along nicely.

Keep them coming.

[Kitsafari]

oh you were at Pafuri! we were exploring that place for its birdlife and its forest looks particularly lovely. Where did you stay and how did you find that area - or are you doing a TR on the trip  too?

@Kitsafari we drove up from Punda Maria, there will be a TR (eventually). in the past we have stayed at the outpost and we saw vehicles from the old wilderness safari lodge which seems to have been rebuilt and taken over since the floods. It is indeed a beautiful area
