A few birds from August trip to Angola

With 80 lifers an excellent trip but habitat disappearing rapidly

Few more Angolan Birds

Realised I’d missed Gabela Helmetshrike. Have also included the rarely seen Brazza’s Martin

I didn’t photograph the Brazza’s Martin

Day 4 of my 15 day trip to Namibia and Botswana was a Bustard day with 5 species seen on multiple occasions. 20 lifers to date. Now in Etosha NP. Photos to follow

After a poor flight with Air France, we met our Guide the excellent Jose Castana and today we started our epic 25 day to Colombia. A early morning flight to Calli soon gave the first : lifers of the trip Grayish Piculet, Apical Flycatcher and surprisingly Dwarf Cuckoo.

Second day in Colombia produce another 3 lifers including excellent views of a major target multi-coloured tanager and Scaled Antpitta.
