This collection of African birds is from our trips to Namibia and Botswana. Some were snagged at distance from the rear of our transports so they are not all wonderful pictures.
What might seem like a random sequence is actually alphabetical order of scientific name, the main reason for which is to group any related species together for some kind of comparison.
