These Yellow-bellied Greenbuls are common (and entertaining) around the swimming pool at Punda.

Nice pic CR, the only ones I have ever seen came into our camp and looked around on the southern bank of the Cunene River!

Last week I went to KNP with my parents and we travelled from the South to North and then back again. Before I do a trip report, could you please help me with a few bird IDs? Please click on the links for larger pix...
Date for all pix: 22-28 June 2008

1.
Place: Orpen Dam
Habitat: Woodland, jumps from tree to tree.
Size: about 20cm
I'm not even going to take a guess...

2. Perhaps the same as 1?
Place: Sirheni Camp
Habitat: Woodland, searching through the leaves on the ground and when disturb it flies to a tree, very skittish.
Size: about 20cm
I'll pass on this one as well :roll:

Joe gave you the answer to your questions but here is my two cents for what it is worth.

1. Red eye, white eye ring. Yellow-bellied Greenbul.

2. The white eye ring probably clinches it for Yellow-bellied Greenbul.

Well done CS! :clap:
