Northern Pied Babbler

Hi all

There are indications that several species are "moving", expanding their ranges in response to "environmental" change. While this may well be related to underlying changes in the climate it may also be due to an opening up of habitat due to human encroachment, perhaps both factors influencing each other, the drier climate slowing down the natural recovery of the habitat.

Whatever the cause there is evidence that several dry country species are expanding their ranges westwards, both directly west and also both SW and NW.

This may well be one of them.

PLEASE take a note of this and day date and georeference all records that will add to our understanding of any range expansion.

thanks
