Birds We've Seen at Mabalingwe

This "continues" the series I started at Le Gros Chigy. Its a few birds we saw at the Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, west of Bela Bela in Limpopo Province. This is about 130 km north of Pretoria.

Because Oiseaux.net didn't have any details on these birds, other than photographs, I have taken extracts from BirdForun.net.
