What camera and Zoom lens did you use for these shots? I am looking for a camera to shoot wildlife that is not too bulky for travel.

Thank you RR51. Locals call these Banana Birds, for obvious reasons.

Mimilport, these are taken with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon 55-300mm lens.
My regular travel gear is Nikon D750 and 28-300mm. My Africa trip started late last month, with rumors of electronic ban, so I decided to take my backup camera instead (turned out unnecessary). But I am impressed with the quality of pictures it took. However these pictures were taken in ideal settings - still objects and good lights. With birds in flight, and low lights, I got frustrated with the shortcomings of the D7000 - especially slow focus and high ISO noise levels, compared to the D750.
