After feasting our eyes on the Olive-headed Weavers, we took up some Miombo woodland birding. This was very enjoyable, and it was not strange to hear: "Mashona Hyliota pair in the upper canopy of the second tree, near the Black-eared Canaries" followed by: "Near the Broad-billed Rollers or closer to the Mozambique Batis?". The Miombo woodland bird community was amazing, and all the commoner bushveld birds were replaced by their more exotic cousins. More

long days drive from Inharrime, although the Olive-headed Weaver is not guaranteed in a few hours birding. 1. The road from Inharrime to Panda provides some excellent birding, passing through extensive grassy wetland areas good for Black Coucal (in summer), Swamp Nightjar, and Rufous-winged Cisticola. Areas of palm savanna hold Lemon-breasted Canary, and mixed acacia woodland supports Pink-throated Twinspot. Look out for Dickinson's Kestrel along this route as well. It is best to set out from Inharrime and bird this route in the early morning. More
