I am happy to confirm the others thoughts. Your Rattlers are all good and the last  one , 352, is a Zitter.

Cisticolas ID always puts me in mind of Humpty Dumpty 's wise words with Alice.:o

354)Red-billed Firefinch

Another species from the very productive bird hide in Mantua Camp,UMkhuze,KZN.

The female takes centre stage for a change!

356)Red-billed Oxpecker

The only Oxpecker species we saw but there were plenty about wherever there was game you'd find them.

Could be a caption competition!

357)Red-billed Teal

These were the only ones seen , at Ndumo. I was disappointed with how few species of wildfowl we saw on the whole trip.

358)Red-breasted Swallow

The only ones we saw were in the heat of the day and distantly at UMkhuze.The heat haze didn't look so bad through the camera viewfinder! 

I think they had only just returned to the region so we were lucky to see any at all.

364)Sacred Ibis

In to the sun Ndumo. I'm used to seeing these regularly in The Gambia so I was surprised this was the only one we saw.

367) Secretary Bird

I have a fixation with this bird but I'm not sure why. A top top target which I only saw very distantly in Kruger so when we were at Buffalo Hill Safari lodge in Manyoni reserve and our host offered to nip us out to see some Lions she had just seen on her way back to the lodge I was even more delighted to get close up views and without the heat haze of the Kruger from a previous visit.

371) Yellow Weaver

I'm open for a challenge on the ID of this one. In what appears to be full breeding plumage it's not the female Southern Brown-throated Weaver I don't think, seen mixing with them though in St Lucia,KZN
