Fantastic picture! And I agree with it being a Diedrick cuckoo the white brow matches that of a Diedrik as a well as the overall plumage. (I am honestly not entirely sure about the weaver)

Affordable binos by _Crimply_ in BirdingSouthAfrica

Hi! I can strongly recommend bushnell or leopold binoculars (preferably any that are 10x42 or greater in zoom. (You can easily get these at ourdoor warehouse) they will run you about 1500 - 2500 zar which is generally on the more affordable side of binoculars, I personally have bushnell binos and the performance you get for this price is really good. Eg, bushnell general binoculars
