Not the greatest of pictures, but given that this species is not lergely represented in the gallery, I decided to upload it.. here a male of this small shrike species that is becoming uncommon, mostly because of the intensification of agriculture and use of pesticides.

Not a great picture but this is an iconic sandgrouse, mostly sought after in the Kalahari. We saw many of them there, but some at the Okavango delta, too!
