SR - here is my last instalment for the day. Some shots from Nyika National Park. Photography was quite hard here due to my slow lens but gives you all an idea of some of the specials!!

Yellow-browed Seeedeater. Not too many shots of this guy out there!

Cinnamon Bracken Warbler - just as obliging as our Barratt's! This shot was pure fluke. Just pished a bit and he popped briefly in view.

SR - the warbler comment was given with a heavy hint of sarcasm smile Just as Barratt's you hear this guy more than you see him. Shot was pure fluke.

I guessed that much, but was hoping deep down you had a Barratt's in a cage at home that I could come photograph. lollollol

Re: Magical Malawi: Birding, Cultural and Wildlife Tour not to be missed!

SR - next year you are coming along to take the pictures! I found the forest photography VERY frustrating. You will just have to fit Mozambique in around it!


Sharpe's Greenbul - a recent split off Yellow-streaked Greenbul.Common in the montane forest pockets on Nyika. Southern Mountain Greenbul is another common greenbul up on the Plateau.
