There's nothing else for it to be with that yellow eye than (Holub's) Golden Weaver. And I'm pretty sure there's nothing else for your bird to be than juvenile GW.There were also Southern Brown-throated Weavers in the grounds of the lodge, but males and females of this look quite different from your bird and mine.Incidentally, our trip was mainly along the Caprivi Strip and we just had two nights and one day at the Chobe Safari Lodge after a half-day at Victoria Falls. We saw so much stuff there in just one day (morning drive, afternoon boat trip) that we think we might go back and spend a whole holiday in that park. The morning drive included a leopard and a beautiful male sable antelope, but the highlight was the black mamba, photo attached.Sorry to have been so long to get back to you.</blockquote>
