Greenback Heron |
Eventually ending up at the bird hide the action started to pick up with the Greenback Heron putting in his appearance. He soon had a fish then went and hid behind some reads so no photos possible but could just see it through the reads as it beat the fish to death and then ate it.

Burchell's Coucal |
The Burchell's Coucal put in his appearance he had good look around found a waevers nest that was unattended reached in snatched the chick and then cool as you like just perched on the tree next to the nest.
