Lovely!

#1 is white-browed sparrow-weaver, I guess.

Could #2 be pale-winged starlig? Did you get a shot of the wings?

Nice shots. The second one is a Fork-tailed drongo. That first one looks like some kind of shrike or flycatcher.

Thanks for the id's Olli and Mitch.

I had a feeling about the Drongo but wasn't absolutely sure.
