Tree Squirrel
While driving on the Sweni road, I spotted this little fella on the very tip of a dead tree.
His friend joined him to see what he was looking at.
I caught this cutie having lunch at the Letaba camp.
While I was having breakfast at the Makhadzi picnic site, another one was foraging under a nearby tree.

Tchagra
Tchagras can be rather difficult to see and photograph. They are rarely in the open and are always moving. This is especially true of the Black-crowned Tchagra (for me anyway). I was fortunate to see both Brown-crowned and Black-crowned Tchagras and was able to get some decent pics as well. It is great to be able to compare the differences between the two birds so clearly.
