Birds of Africa

When I returned from a Safari in Africa, some years ago, I discovered that I had taken pictures of 60 different species of birds. I had not even tried to specifically photograph birds. It just happened that way. I'll show you some of these images. A fraction of the different species flitting around Zimbabwe and Botswana.

The Yellow Billed Hornbill!

A close relation, maybe a brother of the Red Billed Hornbill.

The Hammerkop !

About the size of a little duck, 

it nevertheless builds the largest Nest of any Bird in Africa.

The Pale Chanting Goshawk

The Little Egret

a successful fisher and frogger

Aegyptian Geese

Kingfisher

The Purple Breasted Roller,

one of the most colourful birds in Africa

The Crimson Breasted Shrike

*****************

Here are 10 different birds, 

photographed in Zimbabwe and Botswana.

There are another 50 in my Photo-Gallery,

while many many more escaped my lens.
