A lovely selection, Minx, the African Stonechat looks a lot like our Stonechats.

Re: Saturday morning birding jaunt

How lovely to see so many different types Minx, and well done you for naming them all.

That Crowned Yellow Bishop looks a striking little bird.
What sort of size would he be roughly, it's hard to tell from a photo?

Hi, thanks. Still learning the ropes with the cameras. Not more than 12 centimetres

I have a picture of Southern Red Bishop but for the life of me, I can’t upload it. Here’s a screenshot from my Google drive.

Lovely pics of lovely animals, although I think you have mis-identified the bird you called a Black-headed Heron.



I think actually it's a drone.

Great photos of so many different birds Minx.

Much appreciation to you for naming them all too.
