You know how I am about birds and I think I got some great pictures this trip.  Here are a group of smaller birds.

The African Golden Oriole

Burchell's glossy starling--a lot prettier than the European starling we have in the States, don't you think!

The adorable Little bee eater.

The spectacular Malachite kingfisher--it's only 5 inches/14 centimeters long.

Probably the favorite bird for everyone to photograph--the lilac breasted roller--with a nice morsel of some sort.  I have yet to get a good picture of this bird flying--showing its spectacular iridescent turquoise wings.

A little silhouette-y perhaps, but you can still see why this bird is called the fork-tailed drongo.  It is an all black bird.  It's very territorial and spends its day chasing birds of any size out of the area it has chosen.

The woodland kingfisher--another bird with turquoise wings flashing when it flies.

There will be lots more bird letters.
