I hope it is okay to post a link to my slideshow on YouTube - it is just my personal account for sharing photo slideshows.
I made a slideshow of the birds I saw in Tanzania in September, 2024.
Major locations: Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP (North and Central/East), Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Arusha.
There are some birds for which I am not sure of the ID.
NOTE: I already know I mis-ID'd a Glossy Ibis as a Hadada Ibis. Oops!
I would sure appreciate any help correcting or providing IDs. Also, there are some nice photos - like that Little Bee-eater I posted in the gallery. Enjoy! Please excuse some technical issues - this is a draft.

Format makes this a bit painful to follow. Of those I got through, the "little stint" includes or is ruff. Second pic certainly is: wasn't quick enough on the draw to be sure about the first
 
It’s a nice slide show, not very easy to check IDs though so if there are any doubts probably better to post the photos here

The first grey-capped social weaver picture shows a different species, maybe house sparrow

All the best
James
Thank you, James.
The two corrections I've gotten here are not ones I might have posted as having doubts about! :) I will reconsider all my IDs and post dubious ones here separately.
I must have mis-labelled the social weaver and then never went back to confirm. Thanks again!

Thank you THE_FERN.
Here is the first photo - I thought it looked like a Little Stint, and Merlin came up with that as well. Happy to be corrected if it is not!
