[QUOTE="Padraig, post: 3192022, member: 2093"] That's an amazing photo of the Schalow's Rick and Elis. Its wonderful to see the white dots on the crest dancing like a tassle in the sunlight. Did you see many of them where you were staying on the Zambezi River? I only got glimpses of one bird. I'll be listing species below that I saw that are confined to northern Botswana/ Namibia and thereabouts. I wonder did you get to see these and/or others on your trip in 2013? 22.2.15 Last day of the trip. On the way to the airport (5 minutes from town) I got my last lifer, a [B]Dark Chanting Goshawk[/B] on a telegraph pole. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip to Kasane and I hope the description here gives some pointers to others contemplating going to this neck of the woods. I saw 72 new species for Southern Africa and was particularly pleased that a number of species (16) I saw to this year are fairly localised (not widespread in distribution and can't be found further south in places like Kruger NP): Swamp Boubou (common) Collared Palm Thrush (common, also found in parts of Zimbabwe & Mozambique) Copper Sunbird (also N. Zim)...uncommon localised breeding visitor Brown Firefinch (common) Northern Grey Headed Sparrow....highly localised Long Toed Lapwing ( also parts of Zim and Mozambique)..locally common Hartlaub's Babbler (common) Southern Brown Throated Weaver...uncommon localised (also found in coastal northern SA and N Mozambique) Chirping Cisticola (common localised) Luapala Cisticola (locally common) Greater Swamp Warbler (locally common in Okavango area) Rock Pratincole ...breeding visitor ( locally common) Schalow's Turaco...locally common Slaty Egret...(uncommon resident Zambesi River and Okavango) Rosy Longclaw (also parts of Zim and N. south Africa)..uncommon, patchily distributed Bradfied's Hornbill (common resident) [/QUOTE]
