Very impressive set! All well done! Number 7 is my favorite - it is not better than the others - it just made me smile. Steve W

I like them all - That's a great assortment of birds over there that I've never seen!

Very nice. I really like the pose of the crowned crane you captured in #2. We saw quite a few crowned cranes, but they were usually too busy eating to do much strutting.

Fantastic detail and closeness. Great set of exotic birds.

What did that lark just consume?

I am pretty sure the mystery bird is an immature Bateleur Eagle. The is a close-up immage on Wikepedia that shows detail of the bill and face that very closely match your bird.
Can you offer tips of who you went with, equipment to take etc? We went two years ago, I took a Nikon 8800, got interested in photography after I came back and now would like to go back with a Canon 30D (which I own) and a 500 F4 (which I don't). What technique did you use for your bird shots??

Amazing set Harsha,

I have one suggestion, the Lilac Roller is my favorite except for purple hi lite in the eye, do a selection around the eye, Increase the black channel to get rid of the purple or clone it out, I think it will improve that image a lot.

Thans Tim. The Saddle Bill Stork is one of the most colorful birds in Africa.
