Unknown Species

Sorry to call on the birding stars on here once more, but I have absolutely no idea what the following birds are. I'm guessing that the first maybe some kind of kingfisher, but then again is it a member of the Kookaburra family. The second is some kind of finch.

Nice shots. The 1st looks like some kind of bee eater to me, not sure which one though.

Thanks goooner. I have tried to look them up, but not having much luck.

The first shot is a European Roller. The second shot I'll have to research.
