Observation details

Photo is of one of two birds of this species - possibly a breeding pair given the time of year - flying upstream about 70metres from the Zambezi; so in riverine woodland whereas other records I know of in the area are in the (more typical) miombo woodland 10km or so to the north. Classsified by the new Bids of Zambia App as an "uncommon resident".
