Migrant dates from the Selous

great stuff Onesmo, keep these records coming.

African Hobby is widespread but quite scarce. It occurs in wetter habitat,
avoiding the dry central plateau and most of the Miombo woodland belt. Like
other hobbies it uses old nests of crows. Yes, it could breed with you and
persistent calling is a feature of their territorial defense against
anything even slightly larger than themselves.

Do look out for birds flying to the nest carrying food.

Will send a new map soon.

You need to buy the Zimmerman, Turner, Pearson guide and the Sinclair & Ryan
guide. Very useful to compare with some of the features in S&F.

yes, Paul having fun........

cheers

Neil
