Given the location, I think that might be the African Barred Owlet (a type of Pygmy Owl) and Böhm's Bee-eater. Looks like a great location for birding - I'll have to put that on my list of places to visit!

@Jaquaval loved the Mallard. Looked as if he were floating through space!!

Some from today. Very hot [36C] and very bright.
Black Swan and Cygnet, hard to approach.
