Before I begin the letters on the hunt, here are just a few more birds.

Guinea fowl are fun to watch--they go everywhere in a sort of panic mode.  The local people say they are very good eating.

This may not look like much to you, but it was a great spotting by James.  We were nearly upon this marsh owl, which, as you can see, was not real obvious  It is less than 14 inches/35cm tall and has bright russet wings when it flies, which it did for us after we stopped just in time.

Just part of a dead tree................but with two lilac-breasted rollers and a yellow-billed oxpecker, which is much less common than the red-billed oxpecker that we have seen on the animals so far.

The little bee eater, 5 inches/14cm, is nice looking from the back................

.........but spectacular from the side!

This is a pied kingfisher, probably the kingfisher seen most often.  They are usually sitting on a branch over water, but this opportunist was grabbing the small captive fish out the drying-up pond where we saw all the storks.
