    Botswana Pipit

    This pipit was photographed in the Nxabega Concession in the Okavango Delta in November 2008. Of particular note were the strong white eye-stripe, the pink base to the lower mandible, and the bird's readiness to take to the trees, not often seen with pipits. Any opinions as to the bird's...

    Kruger Park ID required, please

    This little bird is a good example of how photos can confuse the issue. The apparent colour of the bird sitting in the bush, and the same bird sitting on the ground, is quite different. Your opinions would be most welcome. Thank you. Dave

    Assistance with these three would be appreciated. First photo: Nxabega Concession, Okavango Delta, Botswana - poor-quality photo: I thought maybe Marsh Harrier Second photo: Lake Ngami, Botswana - puzzled by this one. Third photo: Kruger National Park, South Africa - maybe a young Jackal...

    Raptor, Botswana

    This photo (severely cropped) of a distant raptor was taken at Lake Ngami in northern Botswana in November 2008. The wings and tail look relatively short, compared to Wahlberg's Eagle, and there is no sign of a crest. The gape seems to extend beyond the mid-point of the eye, which may rule out...

    South Africa - Kgalagadi

    Photographed in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, November 2010. Habitat - Kalahari Desert. This little bird was not unlike a Marico Flycatcher, which was common in the area, but lacked the Marico's clear white underside. I thought perhaps juvenile, but the juvenile Marico is reported as...

    Botswana Coucals

    These two were photographed in the Savuti area of northern Botswana in April this year. The greyish caps suggested juveniles, the first, a large bird, probably Coppery-tailed Coucal, the second, which seemed smaller, Senegal Coucal, but the pink bills have thrown me somewhat. Any opinions will...
