Enjoyed them all as usual esp, the gaping bill of Groundhornbill.

 

Just thinking out loud at 8000 miles from myGuide book but is not your Brown-hooded a Striped?

[Peter Connan]

That last shot of the Kingfisher is marvelous! 

The bathroom soap indeed. I wonder if the cleaning crew have any opinions on the matter?

[Tdgraves]

Thanks @Peter Connan

Thanks. I’ll allow jet lag as a cause for this. Definitely the former! Enjoy the rest of your trip.

[Galana]

Jet lag is too polite, so thank you. It later ocurred to me that 'striped' does not occur in RSA.

Eish, that's a bad dose of jet lag! Because it does.

But very uncommon where these photos were taken...

Congrats on the triple century, lots of very nice photos.

Saw this on a car parked at Olifants...

364) Goliath heron

[Tdgraves]

That seems to be it. I can't find a photo of a hamerkop! Or a lappet-faced vulture, several swifts and swallows, cinnamon-breasted bunting or house martin and I know that I had no photo of a grey-headed bushshrike. 175 birds seen in KNP, so about 25 down on a summer trip. Back to the UK EBC folder then...

[xelas]

Excellent result, so many great photos, and you had a lovely weather.
