The first three birds from 02. + 03. Oct. from Kasane, the fourth from 5.Oct. from Maun.
The first a black-throated canary? Two and three which Weaver?

Thanks, Rafael,
yes I think also 2 + 3 are Yellow-crowned Bishops, 1 is Black-throated Canary, but to 4 I have no idea.

Regards
Helmut

I think bird 4 is a dark Familiar Chat. The black eyeline is a shadow, I think, not part of the bird.

I lightened it up, and I think the resemblance is clearer (your photo is very dark).

Other opinions, of course, welcome.

If either of you are feeling kind, when you have sorted your own birds, please see if you can help out with some of my Botswana problems.
