Gonna do easy one: 87,88 grosbeak weaver. The images seem over-exposed: brown normally appears darker

1 is one of the Black Weavers I think?

From it's short tail, could it be the rare Maxwell's Black which is know from Semliki?

 

[Andy Adcock]

Yellow-eyed Bristlebill for 823?

Looks to have yellow tail corners?

 

[49bentley]

Maxwell's Black would be exciting. Thanks Andy.

If i remember correctly Maxwell's Black Weaver is known from Semliki National Park, not Game Reserve and is very rare. To me this looks like a Grey-headed Nigrita which is a common and widespread bird in Uganda

Could 7 - 8 be a Common Nightingale?

I think it's one of the Brownbul / Greenbul group?

 

[49bentley]

Thanks Andy.

Yes, it is Icterine or Xavier's Greenbul with such a yellow throat. It is a juvenile, litterature doens't give any clue to separate them. I left Africa since 7 years and can't rely on the jizz anymore... for a game, I would bet Icterine Greenbul, because of the heavy bill.

 

[49bentley]

Thanks Valery Schollaert.

Would 3 be another Greenbul?

 

[Valéry Schollaert]

Would 3 be another Greenbul?

yes, but impossible to identify on this photo, even I can't tell which genus... no other shots ?

 

[49bentley]

Thanks Valery Schollaert. No other shots.
