126. Silvery-cheeked Hornbill (Bycanistes brevis)
Got a fantastic view of this large bird. He was at the entrance of his nest, and feeding his female and/or chicks.
127. Yellow-billed Stork (Mycteria ibis)
Photographed this just outside the park where Storks, Pelicans and Ibises roost and breed on the huge trees.
128. African Fishing Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer)
This one was scanning the lake from his perch by a hippo pool. This was the closest I cold get to him.
129. Palm-nut Vulture or Vulturine Fish Eagle (Gypohierax angolensis)
One of the biggest birds of prey I've seen (and this one was probably an immature!).
130. Hamerkop (Scopus umbretta
Another African special. Gets its name from its hammer-shaped head.
131. Great White Pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus)
Was good to spot a familiar bird so far away from home.
132.Emerald-spotted wood dove (Turtur chalcospilos)
133. Grey-headed Kingfisher (Halcyon leucocephala)
