Amboselli, Kenya (1 Viewer)

Struggling to identify this bird of prey and kingfisher taken at Amboselli a couple of days ago. Also is the Ostrich a common Ostrich or a Somali Ostrich (and how do you tell the difference?)

Thanks in advance

2. I think in southern Kenya the Ostrich should be the Masai sub-species of Common Ostrich Struthio camelus massiacus;
3. Malachite Kingfisher.

I agree with the 3 IDs. Somali Ostrich occurs much further North, not in Amboseli.
