The first two from Kruger NP are 'See inside', so disqualified ;)

The rest are good; I can't see the Little Black Cormorant, though? All I can find there is a flying egret (probably Eastern Cattle Egret - can you confirm?) :t:

Check the logo at the top left corner of the footage!

We can surely include them on a separate Cat ‘D’ list? - After all, they are good ‘captures’ and it would be a shame to deter such diligence ;)

- I think there’s Little Black Cormorant in the Ibis link sitting on top of the statues
