Changed my mind, edited bird names at the end of the post!

You can test your birding expertise by naming the beautiful bird species in the photos. If you can't, please enjoy the show!
I am not going to mention the names of any birds here, but I will only show you their habits after a rainstorm!
As said, I will prefer your naming of the birds!

The last drops of the rainstorm can be seen on this Hibiscus flower!

The bird that you see above, lives in a tree near our bedroom window and his song is my alarm clock in the mornings. He is also the last singer at night.

Our smallest bird flushing and checking out if the rain is really going away!

This is the new youngster that was born here in our garden a few weeks ago!

These clouds were rushing by, driven by the strong winds to go and wet the areas behind the mountains!

This youngster was so happy that he was considering a song using one of the flower tubes as a microphone 馃ぃ

And That's All Folks!

You better believe me when I say that the strong high winds can clear the sky above the bay where we live within minutes and the sun can do the same with any rain pools that have formed on the roads. A beautiful sight is to watch the steam rising from the rain puddles during summer!

But it is now still winter here and the sun is not as fierce to raise steam clouds from the puddles. I will however endeavor to show you in a photo when I see it again.
Many of you might know from my previous posts that we live in an abundance of wildlife and sealive here and it is a paradise!

Note: All photos, except the first(cited), are my own, unedited and cropped for uploading.
Camera used: Canon Powershot SX60HS

Right, I have had a few suggestions here about the bird names.
Here is a full list of the bird names:

Photo 1. Cape Robin/Cape Robin-Chat (Cossypha caffra)
Photo 2. African Dusky Flycatcher (Muscicapa adusta) "Teapot"
Photo 3.Squirrel and a Egytian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca)
Photo 4. Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus)

Photo 7. Yellow Bishop (female)(Euplectes capensis)
Photo 8. Brimstone Canary (Crithagra sulphurata)
