But which one, seen at Ndumo my guide called it Scaly-throated and when you look I can see why despite the plain front.

325) Livingston's Turaco

This bird became an obsession and I wasted a lot of time trying to get a better image. Step over the back fence of the guest house and we were in a wildlife heaven and this bird was making a racket most of the day but could I find it...No!

A beautiful Bee-eater, and you did get the Turacao - well done.

I also like the Crombec picture

I think you got the better deal with a HC Kingfisher over Hippo despite the weight advantage.

You are fairly pacing along with some excellent portraits.

Melba Finch and Turaco are outstanding.

Congrats on #300 Dave, great pictures and a few suprising EBCs!!

Lots of excellent photos, Dave! That Klaas’ Cuckoo and the HC Kingfishers would have been lifers for me.

I was hoping for the definitive ID on the Honeyguide from you Fred!

Until you said you hadn't seen a Klaas's Cuckoo I assumed I already had. A quick check and it appears I haven't. An extra lifer along with the kingfisher for me then! I'm sure you find a few lifers in Kruger if not those two.Good luck!!

I thought your caption quite appropriate. If I had to choose I would go for Lesser by a short margin based on the fact it is unmarked on the front.
