First one is two pied kingfishers. I like the shot mainly because there is an african fish eagle rendered in the bokeh. The guinea fowl has some dust showing in the image (I didn't notice it while PP-ing the shot as I thought it was just dirt on my monitor)

Yup, definitely dust bunnies in that second shot -- clean the sensor!

I know. Since arriving in Africa two years ago I've had to clean my sensor more than I ever thought it would be necessary. Only two weeks left until we return to Canada.
