Another newly-available one, and for once it was easy to work out. Will did a trip report for Cote d'Ivoire mentioning his lifer Yellow White-eye, so that was Northern and the new Angola White-eye is now available. That's subspecies kasaicus, heinrichi and quanzae for those who worry about such things.

Oh, that's a pianful memory - that one was heard by us on Mt Cameroon, but just couldn't see it, a difficult dip to repair...
I'll try to forget it with a happier memory - another bushshrike that also shares an olive green back and tail:
#9203 Uluguru Bushshrike

Bushshrike, Cuckooshrike, same thing, right?

#9204 Manus Cuckooshrike, and we're back (on dry land!) in the Bismarcks.

Gifts from the IOC are arriving thick and fast. One of today's is easy for our purposes - most countries' Beautiful Sunbird are still one species, including some heavily birded countries including Gambia and Ethiopia. So that#s likely to be the one that;s been played, while the new Gorgeous Sunbird is to be found in Tanzania or most of Kenya if someone wants to play that.

Much harder to work out is Olive-capped Coua, split from Red-capped Coua. Both are in different bits of Madagascar. Nothing obvious to suggest which is the easier. So in the interests of an easy life I'll say the one that hasn't changed its name has been played, and the new one is available.

#9128 Ursula's Sunbird is also fabulous. I guess.

Ursula means "little bear." And within the range of the world's smallest bear, the Sun Bear, you'll find:

#9129 Grey-breasted Babbler

I'll contribute with another cool ground babbler, had to wade through streaming water almost up to my waist to get to its marshy habitat:
#9130 Marsh Babbler
