1. Mousebird of some type... I'll go with White-backed(but not sure)
2. Aptly named Yellow-billed Duck.
3. African Weaver... don't know exactly which though.
4. Cordon Blue Finch
5. ~~Reed Bunting~~. After Parulas suggestion... I like Cape Sparrow for this guy.

Life list: 355
Latest: Olive-sided Flycatcher(Finally), Mississippi Kite, Wilson's Plover, Lark Sparrow, Elegant Tern, Northern Lapwing
2013: 219

These are tentative IDs, but Speckled Mousebird, Yellow-billed Duck, Southern Masked Weaver, Blue-breasted Cordon-Bleu, and Cape Sparrow look about right. I've been mostly trying to brush up on birds of East Africa, and weavers especially can be tough from the wrong angles.
