So it can be admitted that natalensis is present from September to March, but that some individuals arrive as early as mid-August and the last leave in April/May. The situation thus agrees well with that shown by Benson (1964: 5 8) for Zambia, etc. Apart from the southern Katanga, I have been able to take count of a total of 38 specimens of which 33 fall within the period April/August, exactly the period when natalensis is almost completely absent from the southern Katanga. Furthermore, these figures are exclusive of ten specimens of natalensis mist-netted in the Bwamba Forest, Uganda between 25th April and 19th July, reported on by Clancey (1972), for which the exact dates within this period are not Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Ornithologists' Club.
