These are the last pictures (from Durban this time) from my trip to SA that I need help for the identification.
1 and 2 are the same bird.

1 and 2 looks like Variable sunbird, however I dont know how the subspecies ranging into SA looks like so I might be wrong, at least put a vote on VS.

Ok, I will make a long shot on the eagle, juvenile martial eagle?

I would say White-bellied Sunbird (Cinnyris talatala) for 1, 2 (Juvenile/Immature Male) and 3 (Female) and Juvenile African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) for 4.
