Speckled Pigeons? Handsome certainly. They seem to be sat on some kind of brick/concrete; are they common urban birds in South Africa?

Yes - Speckeled / or Rock Pigeon, they are *very* common. Here they are sitting on the top of our outdoor chimney - posting a crop close-up.
I find the shape of their pupils very interesting

The herons are very cool, Mel. But my favorite of these shots you posted is the last one, of the turtle just barely surfacing in murky water - a great image.

Not my typical bird picture: a small group of relatively young chicks, under the warming lamp, for sale at the local Grange.
