Abstract:

Several species occurring in Angola just enter Namibia in the Kaokoveld of north western Namibia. These species are highly sought after by birdwatchers from abroad and locally, who visit the Kunene River Valley in the hope of ticking birds such as Grey Kestrel, Cinderella Waxbill, Rufous-tailed Palm-Thrush and Rednecked Spurfowl. Since May of this year the Angola Cave Chat can also be chased in Namibia. Until then the Angola Cave Chat was not known to occur in Namibia and was considered to be an Angolan endemic. In Angola it is extremely localized in four isolated areas along the Great Escarpment in the west where it frequents rocky hills and gorges.
