Checklist Comments

I walked back down the trail towards lower elevations from Nganga camp, but did not descend too low. Rather productive morning out and about in the forest alone. Conditions were pretty excellent throughout, though I could hear the guys at camp making a ruckus for quite some distance. An obvious highlight of the day, if not the entire trip, was a good, close encounter with a flock of Yellow-crested Helmetshrikes. I surprised them and they were a bit elusive but I managed some photos and audio.

    Details

    I was quite surprised to see this bird at this elevation (2085 meters), but I clearly saw the blue-gray eye. Photos may also show this. The bird responded fairly well to recordings of Laniarius willardi by approaching several times though it remained silent. It was in a dense thicket of small diameter woody-stemmed vines and short trees. Location was -3.09786, 28.51719.
