GREY CUCKOOSHRIKE, VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE
We can ID this bird as a Grey-headed Cuckooshrike by its all-grey color, broad square-ended tail and dark loral patch (female doesn'the have this).
The Grey-headed Cuckooshrike is a new species to our Photographic Life List , which now stands at 474.
WEAVER NESTS, VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE
The nests hanging from the tree are for White-browned Sparrow-Weavers. The nests are used all year by the weavers. They have two entrances: the main entrance and an emergency exit.
BREAKFAST ON THE ROAD, ZAMBEZI RIVER, VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE
During a very early safari drive to the Zambezi River and other birding hotspots in the Victoria Falls area we stopped along the Zambezi River to have a picnic breakfast. This was on Sunday, Nov. 13.
Our local birding guide, Charles, is in the last photo. Part of the safari vehicle can be seen in the first photo.

This Pied Kingfisher is hovering in mid-air above a pond, waiting to dive, to catch a fish. It did do this and it did get a fish.
