Sondela is a birders paradise, with hundreds of species of birds of which I only managed to photograph a few.
Click to enlarge.
Male Red-headed finch.
Female Red-headed finch.
This guy was waiting for an open spot at the bird feeder, while he waited he had a snooze among the thorns. Those thorns are as vicious as they look, yet giraffe and other browsing antelope manage to pluck the tenderest leaves from among them.
Scaly-feathered finch.
Crested Francolin.
These Crested Francolin were photographed as the sun rose, with a slow shutter speed, thus the blurred bird in the middle.
Swainson's Spurfowl, there are several coveys of these birds here on the farm where I live.
White-crested Helmet-shrike. While I was at Sondela I photographed three different types of shrike, the Crimson-breasted shrike, the Grey-headed shrike and these.
Another view of the White-crested Helmet-shrike.
This is a juvenile eagle of some sort the closest ID I could get was one of the snake eagles.
