Hmm, yes, could that be the same owl?

Thanks for the correction 🙂

You got the francolin right 🙂 The starling in turn is a greater blue-eared one, not a Cape one. There are Cape starlings in Kruger as well, but the GBES are the most abundant ones. They look painfully similar, though, but one can easily see in yours the telltaling dark ear patch.
Also, your owl looks quite similar to mine; even the branch 😉 https://biologoymercenario.blogspot.co.za/2017/08/de-picnic-pnk-ix.html

Haha. Well it must be super exciting when he finally shows up! But yes, it’s really incredible how many colorful birds we have here, especially in places like Kruger. There are a ton of beautiful ones right here in Joburg too.

In SoCal, we have exactly 1 colorful type of blue jay and 1 yellow western oriole. Every year I wait to see Mr. Fussy Yellow Oriole arrive back from Mexico and splash in my fountain. 🙂

Perhaps you’re right. Birding is very contagious.
