and of course because it is a SWAMP Flycatcher

I totally overlooked any bias for Swamps. It is just a rumour.

Several sources has it as Cassin's Flycatcher only -

I had not seen that. Why can't folks leave well alone?

Very nice. I can sense my Mentoring will soon be requested for ECBs too.

Just catching up on the latest batch - more great photos and some hard to ID birds by the looks of things.  Well done.

More great additions @xelas

I particularly like the Scaly-breasted Illadopsis

[PeterHG]

+ 1. I had never heard of it, but it's beautiful!

[michael-ibk]

Wow, you have been busy! A truly impressive collection of many rarely photographed species. I am particularly taken with all the Apalises - what´s the correct plural for them?

 Slow but still ... next post, a Sunbird. Which one I have still to decide .

It would appear to be Apalises. The normal rule of dropping the 's' in favour of final letter 'i' seems not to apply to avifauna.

Hence Batises, Illadopses.

 

A nice and growing collection of results with more to come.

Never heard the African White-eye called 'northern ' before. Seems odd given there is an Abyssinian version.

 

As to where next to start? Your call but Bronze is first in Fanshawes. Why not stick to that? It will help everyone follow.

If you ever work out what @Peter Connan means, please tell the rest of us.
