Birds along the Nile River

I thought I would post about something different than Images of tombs and hieroglyphics.

All Taken while we were on the Nile River during a small boat excursion I took one afternoon. Equipment, Canon RB and the 100 to 400 STM zoom and a CPL

As I understand it, you won’t find these species of birds in NA

Unfortunately, the boat was constantly moving so they are not as sharp as I would have liked, next time, use a higher shutter speed?
But a unique opportunity to see something different I would see around here.

PS
I had to use Google Lens on each bird as I had forgotten what our guide said each one was. If you see a mistake, please let me know as I am not a bird enthusiast to say the least.

All comments are welcome!
