Green-backed Twinspot

while this species shares forest / forest edge habitat with the more widespread Peters' Twinspot it is far less common.

while it's not an easy bird to see well in the field it's an easy bird to catch in mist nets but there are still rather few records.

212 of the 396 records (53%) are of birds caught for ringing.

all records very much appreciated, especially any dead birds under lighted windows with the direction of the window being most important.

this is the first species with the new base map.
