An unusual name, but a lovely species, Dean. A first for me, so thank you for sharing.

Not much to look at, the Grey Lowry (Go-Away Bird) - but each of my Africa trips have encountered these characters and I have special memories of their constant shouting at me in Botswana - ''Go-Way''  ''Go-Way''!    It really does sound like they're saying ''Go-Away'', doesn't it!!  Nice capture - and thanks for bringing happy memories flooding back!  :D

Sweet capture Dean. With a name like that, it'll be written in African folklore.
Make your life spectacular!
