Not sure what this guy is:
Fish Eagle
not sure on this guy either.
I think this is an egyptian goose, but would love to know for sure.
Excellent shots, what gear did you use? First is a Jacana or Lilly trotter as they’re sometimes known.The American species are very similar. The goose is an Egyptian imho.

Ah! Many thanks! I’ve a few more I’m not sure of I’ll go root out. Any idea on the little blue fellah?
As to gear, I used the biggest heaviest lens I could get my hands on :-) Kidding asside, Canon 1dMII + 400 f/4.0 DO for them all. On the last one, I stuck in extender, bringing me to a 560mm lens. The Canon has a 1.3 crop factor on top of that. Shot in raw.
Merv.
Some fantastic stuff.
Deffo an Egyptian Goose. The blue one is almost like a Superb Starling. This is one I got at the Serengeti southern gates:
