Serowe landfill. The white smaller birds in the pics are posted on this observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/104007879
I wonder if the storks will remain on or near this landfill in future, Could they perhaps make nests nearby.
Do other landfills in southern Africa have small populations of these storks living on them and are the birds benefiting from the easy picking and are their populations growing as a result of landfills ?

Sorry for the really bad camera quality, I think this is a grey headed bush shrike.
We have a few of them on our property.
I was looking at it but then it flew away into a sycamore Fig and there was a Turaco there as well. Later there was a Scitmar billed hoopoe and a black crested barbet.
