wow so many birds flying in & the map looks great! & i'm learning about birds too.
I have this European Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus) from Malta, hope the postmark is clear enough.
The bird is a summer migrant to most of Europe & western Asia, then spends winters in tropical Africa. (wiki)

Greater Honeyguides (Indicator indicator) from Mombasa, Kenya
These birds actually lead humans to bee colonies so that they can partake of the wax & larvae once the honey is taken.
