Hi all
>
> Liz found a Mouse-coloured Sunbird in John Dixon's garden at Jangwani Beach. As you can see from the attached list of records for Dar square this bird has become increasingly rare. No doubt due to the attentions of our not so friendly House Crows.
>
> This bird is frequenting a loranthus (and no doubt contributing to its pollination) in a non native tree. A Red-fronted Tinkerbird is on hand to disperse the seeds.
>
> A bird to look out for... not keen on changing the name to Grey Sunbird... more than enough boring names out there these days !!
