Now that I've found this forum perhaps someone can help me identify or verify my identification of these birds I photographed in Southern Africa.
The left raptor was taken at Nottens Bush Camp outside Kruger at great distance and heavily cropped accounting for the poor quality. Date: 25 Sept 07
The center-left one was also taken at Nottens, but I couldn't figure out if it's a Collared Flycatcher or Tropical Boubou. Date: 24 Sep 07
I think the center-right one is an Ashy Flycatcher that I shot at the Moremi Reserve in Botswana--is this correct? Date: 2 Oct 07 (Sorry about the poor quality--low light; high zoom.)
I am pretty sure the left one is a Rock Kestrel that I photographed at the Cape of Good Hope--is this correct? I think it was a bit early in the season for it to be a Lesser Kestrel. (The Rock Kestrel is either a species in its own right or a subspecies of the Common/Eurasian Kestrel depending on your source). Date: 21 Sep 07.
Thanks in advance for any help on these.
