Abstract:

On 13th February 2015, I was conducting a guided bird-walk with returnee guests Paul and Helen Gascoigne. We came across a small birding party a few kilometers from Shamvura Camp in a pocket of remaining quite thick broadleaf woodland. The party revealed an adult male Collared Flycatcher, some Spotted Flycatchers and Violet-backed Starlings. The Collared Flycatcher was very active with very little sitting and waiting unlike the Spotted flycatchers it was with. The Gascoignes said they also saw a Tree Pipit among this group. The Collared Flycatcher which was photographed appears to be in full breeding plumage.
