    Zimbabwean eagle

    Hi, I saw this a few days ago in southwest Zimbabwe. Is it just a Steppe Buzzard, or something more unusual? Booted Eagle comes to mind with those colours and that short tail, but it was too far away to see if it had white shoulder patches. Thanks,

    Zimbabwe raptor

    I saw this raptor in Hwange National Park, northwest Zimbabwe earlier this month and I'm struggling to ID it. There had been heavy rain so birds were very wet, which might be making this harder than it should be. Any ideas?

    Indonesia - Bali & Java

    Hi - Dean from Harare, Zimbabwe.

    Hi Dean African Hawk-eagle for the last pic - was this taken in Harare? I spent quite a few years living and birding in Zim. Brilliant birds! Enjoy

    Cuckoo, Western Australia

    Seems the general consensus is Shining over Horsfield's due to the lack of any eye-stripe. Thanks everyone!

    Cuckoo, Western Australia

    Hi, I photographed this cuckoo near Fitzgerald River National Park, southwestern Australia. It seems to be a young bird missing the barring on the underparts, which raises the question; is it a Horsfield's or Shining Bronze-cuckoo? Is it possible to determine the species of a bird of this age?

    West Australian Waders

    Hi everyone, a couple of queries about waders from Perth, WA. 1. Red-necked Stint? 2-5. Sharp-tailed Sandpiper? I have little experience with this species - how can Pectoral be ruled out? Thanks,

    Tricky birds Angola

    Hello Unfortunately haven't got my Birds of Africa field guide with me, but best I can do without it is this: 1. Eremomela sp. It would help to know where in Angola these were taken. 2. Dusky Lark? 3,4. Looks like a Familiar Chat 5. Is a juv. waxbill/mannikin. Leaning towards Mannikin, but not...

    Heron, Perth

    Here's a photo showing where the heron was seen. You can (barely) see the heron on the top of the trees, in the center of the picture. The wildlife center is to the left of this spot.
