And that's it for our bird tour, we saw some more species but some I missed photos of and others I have better photos to show later.  Still a few more from around Victoria Falls, mostly at our hotel

 

40 - Red-billed Quelea - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - 2/1/23.  I didn't bother trying for a better shot as I thought we would see plenty later in the trip, turns out we didn't

Ok this one has me (and Merlin photo ID) totally stumped.  Spotted at our hotel in Victoria Falls.  Anyone care to hazard a guess?  Thanks

Just realised I missed one from our bird tour - and probably my favourite bird of the morning

45 - Green Woodhoopoe - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - 2/1/23

 

[shazdwn]

And another

46 - European Bee-eater - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - 2/1/23

 

 

[shazdwn]

And one more

 

47 - Meves's Starling - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - 2/1/23

I think that's a juvenile Robin-Chat, probably Cape (but I don't have my books at hand). Beautiful photos.

Back at the hotel

 

48 - Pied Kingfisher - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - 3/1/23.  Really wanted to get a good shot of one hovering but they were always hovering too far away

49 - White-winged Widowbird - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - 3/1/23 ( massive crop it was very far away)
