    Western Black-headed Oriole

    Another one I'd somehow missed before. Unfortunately I'm not able to get the watermark lighter - the original was lost on a mobile hard-drive that crashed :( Hopefully it's at least worthwhile for ID. Uploaded at http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/337558/ppuser/43075 Cheers...

    Mountain Yellow Warbler

    Just discovered another one till better shots turn up - although this species moves around rather rapidly and haphazardly making photographing it very challenging. Uploaded at http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/337551/ppuser/43075 Cheers Marcell

    Mountain Sooty Boubou

    Another forest bird as an "interim" photo till the nice sharp pics arrive. Uploaded at http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/337523/ppuser/43075 Cheers Marcell PS: hoping I can confirm a few photos as Rockefeller's Sunbird B (: although the best and confirmed one I couldn't get...

    Banded Prinia

    Also a "stand-in" photo to fill the blanks - hope it suffices. 3 races occur which if considered separately form two species; the highland races melanops (this bird) and obscura then become Black-faced Prinia.

    Strange Weaver

    Another Albertine Rift Endemic - sadly not a great photo either but can be used in the interim on Opus till the better pics turn up. http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/337519/ppuser/43075 Cheers Marcell

    Apalis personata

    This one seems to have a variety of English names; - in Opus it's shown as Black-faced Apalis - Clements 6 (2009) shows it as Mountain Apalis - Field guides show it as Mountain Masked Apalis It's the Albertine Rift Endemic anyway - maybe one should mention all these alternative names? This is...

    Darters in Norfolk

    Hi all Couple of days ago I was in Syderstone Common and managed to get some half decent shots of what appear to be darters. This is my 1st "proper" attempt at ID on dragonflies, so any help much appreciated. Photo #1: I gather (from the very helpful ID pointers thread) that this is a Ruddy...

    Which Blue? Norfolk, UK

    Hi all I came across this butterfly yesterday at Syderstone Common in Norfolk; it does look a bit worn on the upperside but underside marking pretty much "in tact". Looking at the photos on the ukbutterflies website, the only options I see for this area are Common Blue and Chalkhill Blue...

    Buzzard sp. (Norfolk, UK)

    Hi all I was out walking on Syderstone Common this morning and had this couple of birds flying over, circling once before carrying on in a northern direction. After comparing the photos (albeit distant ones) and the photos from Rob Hume's fieldguide (as well as the BWPi dvd later at home), I...

    Little Green Sunbird

    Hi again On my latest trip I got a couple of good photos of this species but it happens to be in front of a nest on a twig. I don't want to upload something that might be against the rules re nests and nesting birds so asking first... the link to my photo on Flickr is here...

    Western Uganda

    Hi all Here's a quick summary of some of the sightings on the trip Jason Anderson and I did to Western Uganda where we concentrated mostly on Kibale Forest and the areas around it; (hope it doesn't get too boring before getting to the end of the post) [5-12 August 2010] At the Sebitoli section...

    Toro Olive-Greenbul

    Hi Have just uploaded a photo of this species, not a brilliant photo unfortunately but I think could serve well for ID purposes until a better photo comes along. Cheers Marcell

    Western (Yellow-spotted) Nicator

    Hi again I've just uploaded a photo of Nicator chloris. I've labeled it "Western" with "Yellow-spotted" in brackets. You'll see in the photo description I note that Sinclair & Ryan (Stevenson & Fanshawe does as well) refer to this species as "Western Nicator" and use "yellow-spotted" as the...

    Elliot's Woodpecker

    Uploaded a shot of an adult male seen in Bwindi, Uganda. Very happy that this shot be substituted the moment a better one comes along. It does show some features useful for ID hence I thought I'll add it.

    Kandt's Waxbill

    Hi again I see this is still listed as a species "missing images" in Opus. I uploaded a photo before and labelled it as "Black-headed Waxbill" Estrilda atricapilla but also mentioned that the latter names are relative to which authority is referred to...
