  Any ideas on the birds in shot 3. Rather dramatic

  Very dramatic, yes! 😃

  I see @tirralirra has suggested (in the image comments) that it might be a lilac breasted roller. I don't know much about the birds out there I'm afraid, but it certainly looks similar in shape etc to the lilac breasted roller in this equally dramatic shot:

  Yay! Thanks AowlanCrystal. I knew someone would come along who could identify them - we have such a collective wealth of knowledge here. 😃
