Примечания
A male Yellow-crowned Bishop in grass – preening, fluffing then flying off. The brilliant Yellow-crowned Bishop (Euplectes afer) is small species of Widowbird that like most species in the group is highly sexually dimorphic. Male Yellow-crowned Bishops are polygynous, building one or more woven nests attached to vegetation, or occasionally fence wires, usually near water. The males are highly competitive, fluffing their yellow backs and flying rapidly after other males, attempting to drive them away. The buzzing swizzling call and the flaring yellow feathers are used to attract the sparrow-like females to a nest. Elevation: 1305 m. Date added to IBC: February 12, 2019.
